Update: As noted below, the redesigned blog should be up at some point Tuesday, perhaps late – a new post will follow thereafter. If it’s Tuesday and you’re seeing this blog post and the old design first, it’s coming later in the day. Promise.

Hard to believe, but this week marks the ninth anniversary of the Connecticut Employment Law Blog.
I’m pretty sure that’s 72 years old in “blog” years. Or dog years. I forget which one.
