The Scoplaw/Flashes Principle

Given two equal areas of interest, an individual facing increasing structural deadlines in one area of interest will find the temptation to engage the second area of interest* proportional to the amount of constraint generated by the first. 

*note: the engagement with the second area need not be as potentially productive as the abandoned engagement with the first.

Legal Disclaimer

  • First off, I’m not your lawyer. This is a strictly personal weblog which muses both on legal issues and my personal experiences. Writing to me does not make me your lawyer. Asking questions of me does not make me your lawyer. Any writings in this blog (or any links from it) are simply not legal advice, either generally, or in reference to anyone’s specific circumstances. Do not rely on anything you read here as a definitive statement of the law or as legal advice. Laws vary from place to place. If you have legal questions or require legal advice, contact a local lawyer, or better, several lawyers. All comments here reflect the changing views (such as they are) of the author, not my employer or any other person or party.
