Introducing a new feature here on "Adam Smith, Esq.:"  Our Weekly Poll.  Just scroll down the right-hand column a little ways and you'll find it.

With luck, I'll come up with something thoughtful, intriguing, or just plain whimsical to ask you, dear readers, every week.

The kickoff question asks your views on the future of the billable hour.

Rules of the Poll Road:

• Only one vote per visitor per week, please (a/k/a no ballot-box-stuffing).  Allegedly the software I'm using enforces this, but the honor system is always a good first resort.
• I reserve the right to have poll-free weeks—as I hope you've come to expect here on "Adam Smith, Esq.," we insist on quality over quantity and if I can't come up with something worthwhile I won't come up with a mere placeholder.
• Reader suggestions are very welcome!
• I anticipate doing a quick recap of the results each week, and reserve the right to speculate on whether they actually might mean something.

And of course for those of you reading this through RSS or as a direct link to this post alone, remember you have to actually go to the site to find the poll.

Enjoy.
