I always love to brag (blrag?) about my colleagues' successes, and this one is pretty cool: Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw, with which I've been a part-time academic affiliate for about a year and a half, has been rated #1 for appellate and Supreme Court work by legal500.com.

Excellent, and from what I've seen of my colleagues' work, extremely well deserved.

No, that's worse. We're #1 squared! No, that doesn't help much either. We're #0, or, maybe better yet, #-1! Huh, maybe not.

In any case, I'm delighted to report that my colleagues at Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw have been rated #1 in appellate law by Chambers and Partners, to go along with our #1 rating for appellate and Supreme Court work from legal500.com. It's a privilege and a pleasure for me to be affiliated with the Mayer people.
