I have previously criticized the procedure employed by the Editorial Board of the Law Tribune in publishing editorials. There are some level-headed and responsible members on that board, but there are also those (the ones who seem to keep hanging on and never leave) who exploit that to throw darts from behind a veil. When Law Tribune columnists speak out, readers know whose opinion it is. I, Norm Pattis, Dan Krisch and others do not write anonymously or employ pseudonyms. We do not hide behind somebody or something else.
The Editorial Board’s procedure permits just that. It allows for a single member to author an opinion, and get it published under the aegis of the entire board, so long as she gets a minimum number of votes approving it.
