E-Nudging Justice: The Role of Digital Choice Architecture in Online Courts

A man is like a cat; chase him and he will run - sit still and ignore him and he'll come purring at your feet.

SidleyThe death by suicide of Sidley Austin partner Gabe MacConaill continues to rock the world of Biglaw. Not only did he die in a dramatic fashion — his body was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the firm’s parking garage — but after his death, his widow, Joanna Litt, wrote a provocative op-ed titled Big Law Killed My Husband. That one-two punch put a lot of attention on the stresses of Biglaw and the mental health and services available in the industry.

Now MacConaill’s death has become part of a larger conversation. Financial Times has written an article about mental health issues in the workplace, and MacConaill is featured in the story. ... [I]n the FT article, Litt doubles down on holding the firm to account for the events that led up to her husband’s death, and is angry at the firm’s lack of a robust response since MacConaill died.


Reed SmithLet’s rewind for a moment to February 12, 2019. Around 2:30 pm that day, The American Lawyer published an article chronicling my journey with mental health disabilities (more particularly, severe depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety.) I ruminated on the panoply of possible responses. Would I be labeled “that crazy Reed Smith lawyer” or perhaps “the attorney who spewed almost 2,000 words on his ‘mental breakdown’”? How would clients and colleagues perceive me? Would anyone even read the article?

Almost five months later, however, it would not be an exaggeration to say that “going public” with my story has changed my life—for the better—and hopefully the lives, or mindsets, of others as well (even if only incrementally).

E-Nudging Justice: The Role of Digital Choice Architecture in Online Courts


Sela, Ayelet, E-Nudging Justice: The Role of  . Analysts who are pro-Trump likely will say today’s hearings confirmed no collusion or obstruction. Pundits who are critical of the president likely will point to various Mueller remarks as proof that Trump acted improperly, and will demand impeachment hearings.
Viewers who support the president likely will take their cues from Fox News and those who are against the president will turn elsewhere, perhaps MSNBC. But there will be plenty of choices. 
All the major networks, plus PBS, most of the cable news stations and C-Span will provide wall-to-wall coverage. The Washington Post also will have live stream coverage. As I mentioned above, there’s a chance we won’t hear much new today, but that won’t stop a conga line of analysts from putting their spin on the testimony to fill time on that non-stop coverage. With all that time to fill, the analysis might make for more entertaining — yet less substantive — TV than the actual hearings.
