The COVID-19 pandemic has clarified many significant issues that impact each of us not only as legal professionals, but as members of a global community. These authors gave voice to unique perspectives within that community. Their pieces address the challenges of pandemic parenthood, cry out for social justice, and offer a dream of a future with greater environmental stewardship. We hope these pieces prompt you to reflect on our shared experience of living during this unusual time.

FireEye performed in-depth code analysis and determined that the intrusion originated with a SolarWinds product called Orion. Some analysts believe that attacking FireEye was a mistake by the attackers since it sped up detection of the SolarWinds hack. Read more
