A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Dentons' global CEO won't run for another term but Hogan Lovells' chair has been appointed to serve a second three-year stint leading the firm. Also, Colombia is arguing it has exclusive rights to a sunken treasure worth more than $20 billion. And a report from Canada says lawyers are seeing a dramatic decline in civility in the legal profession.
