TED2010: Ten Fascinating People You've Never Heard Of

February 16, 2010

CNN correspondents John D. Sutter and Richard Galant include Philip K. Howard among their list of “ten fascinating people you’ve never heard of” from this year’s TED conference. Dubbing him “the anti-lawyer lawyer,” Sutter and Galant report that Howard “gave a blistering talk at TED about how ‘the land of the free has become a legal minefield.’ He cited the Florida school district that banned running at recess as an example of how ‘people no longer feel free to act on their best judgment’ for fear of getting sued….Howard pushes for policy changes in health care, education and other fields through an organization he founded, Common Good, which describes itself as ‘a non-profit, non-partisan legal reform coalition dedicated to restoring common sense to America.’”

Q&A with Author, Covington Partner Philip Howard

February 08, 2010

“Covington & Burling partner Philip K. Howard became not exactly a household name, but pretty well known about 15 years ago with the publication of his first book about legal reform,” writes Ashby Jones in the introduction to his interview with Howard in the Wall Street Journal Law Blog. He goes on to note that Howard’s first two books “had their detractors, but both were also widely hailed for highlighting the damaging effects our legal culture, specifically overregulation and too much litigation, have had on both the ‘common good’ and on personal freedoms.” The interview focuses on Howard’s latest book, Life Without Lawyers, and the practical implications of his latest critiques of, and solutions to, too much law and not enough responsibility in America.
