Your heart may still beat faster when you hear the words “snow day.” The magic of those words is most potent when spoken by parents to young children lying in bed. (For those who haven’t lived in a chilly climate, they translate to: No School!)
These days, some lawyers probably have a very different association with a similar phrase. For them, the second half of 2013 was filled with all too many “Snowden days.” Each one brought a new revelation from former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, and new questions and accusations directed at companies that suddenly had some explaining to do. The reaction of many lawyers was probably a strong desire to go back to bed.
