Four people trapped in a confined space for two weeks as they barrel down the highway, in search of the future of the practice of law. Is it a reality show in the making, a homicide waiting to happen, or both?


Four people trapped in a confined space for two weeks as they barrel down the highway, in search of the future of the practice of law. Is it a reality show in the making, a homicide waiting to happen, or both?You can find out for yourself starting Sept. 14, when we hit the road on Rebels Tour ’09—complete with live webcams in the tour vehicle, a daily video tour diary and constant Twitter updates from the road. Learn more on our Tour page.

Here’s the crew:

Molly McDonough

Molly is the editor of ABAJournal.com. She’s previously worked at the National Law Journal, American Lawyer Media, Chicago Daily Law Bulletin and daily newspapers in Indiana and South Carolina. She’s a Valparaiso University graduate.

Tour Trivia: Molly is a firm believer in the power of the Magic 8 Ball and its ability to advise her on important decisions. She will be consulting it often during the Legal Rebels tour.
