A screenshot of a brief article in Contexts Magazine summarizing the research of Prof. Matt Clair and PhD candidate Sophia Hunt on morals in the legal profession. The title of the summary is "good lawyer, bad lawyer" and contains an image of a law school graduate with a sign that reads "NOW WHAT?" The brief article was written by Elena G. van Stee.

This afternoon, @stanfordsoc.bsky.social and friends from around the world celebrated Prof. Mark Granovetter on the occasion of his retirement. We are proud to call him our colleague and wish him the best in this new chapter!

A slide of Mark Granovetter and people attending on Zoom are projected behind the podium. A group of colleagues seated, with glasses of champagne raised in honor of Prof. Mark Granovetter. Prof. David Grusky is at the podium, with a slide comparing the annual citation counts of Marx, Weber, and Granovetter since 1950 projected behind him. In recent years, Granovetter has been accumulating more citations per year than Weber but fewer than Marx.
