    Lawyers On Call 24/7: Multi-Tasking Gone Mad
    It was in the 1990s that "multi-tasking" made its way into résumés and advertisements - as a desirable, if not required, skill. Technology has made it easier for us to stay connected to work and our clients. Is this a good thing, or is it a good thing gone awry? Recent studies show that there are significant emotional, physiological and psychological consequences to always being "connected." The concept of "continual partial attention" invites us to wonder what is happening to our attention spans and ability to think critically and not superficially about our cases and the issues our clients face. What is happening to us? What drives us to be available 24/7 or close to it? Can we stop ourselves (or do we want to)?
