A Message From the Editor

Good morning. Former President Donald Trump has been convicted by a jury in New York on 34 counts of fraud, making him the first American President to be declared a felon. Meanwhile, Mexicans on Sunday will go to the polls to elect their next President and members of both houses of Congress -- a contest whose outcome some lawyers say could threaten the rule of law. And in Asia, where so much has changed over the past few years, making partner requires a whole new set of skills.
