Around the web this week, there was a very interesting blog post titled Green Building Is Dead that shook things up in the blogosphere, and Facebook introduced some improvements across its network that inspired an updated Facebook page by our firm.
- Is Green Building Dead?! A shocking blog title caused a splash on twitter among construction professionals and attorneys. The original article is here. Here is some commentary on that article. Interesting perspective on a growing and controversial industry.
- Is Arbitration Good Or Bad? That seemed to be a point of contention in the blogosphere this week, as the 5th Circuit published an opinion holding that “manifest disregard for the law” is “no longer useful in actions to vacate arbitration awards.” The matter was discussed at the Smooth Transitions blog here. And Law.com highlighted that there is now a split in the circuits on this issue.
- Chinese Drywall turns up in Louisiana. Last week, we warned that the Chinese Drywall may reach Louisiana and Washington, and this week local news-stations are reporting that Chinese Drywall is a problem in Louisiana, and that complaints are widespread. Thus far, Interior Exterior building supply has been identified as a possible local supplier of the drywall.
- New Facebook Page. Wolfe Law Group announced that along with the facebook updates, it has a new updated Facebook page.
- Additionally, Oscar – our office French Bulldog – was featured at USAToday.com this week, when the publication ran a story on pet-friendly workplaces. See our picture on their website, and the write-up here.
