A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Hot on the heels of the Alex Jones text message debacle, Dropbox is yet again at the center of a legal blunder of epic proportions. This time, Trump lawyers failed to deactivate a Dropbox link in a public court filing, which ultimately revealed to the press that the former President's legal team saw Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as their only hope for defeating certification of the 2020 election. In today's featured article, LTN reporter Cassandre Coyer asks the question: How can lawyers keep making such simple—yet disastrous—mistakes?
