Legal Antics

It's a common mistake.

Sometimes lawyers are actually funny.

The Cleveland Scene Sports blog explains that in '74 a Browns fan, also a lawyer, sent the following letter to the Browns. The Brown's lawyer's response, also below, is classic.

Lawyers represent!

So proud this guy's one of ours.

That's one way to look at it...if you're an idiot.

Crime of the century or racist hysteria? You decide.

Hate it when that happens

Happy belated holidays, lawyer style

Check it Out: The Xemplar

I recently became involved in a really interesting new project: The Xemplar. It's a new website devoted to innovative solo and small firm attorneys that lead the way and make a postive impact on our profession and their communities.

Each month, a new “Xemplar” is nominated and their story is featured, along with related articles and discussions written by me, my Social Media for Lawyers: The Next Frontier co-author, Carolyn Elefant, and others.

I'm honored to serve on the advisory board of the Xemplar along with (in alphabetical order) Bob Ambrogi, Rodney Dowell, Carolyn Elefant, and Gina Madsen.

This month's Xemplar is Stephanie Kimbro, a pioneer in the field of virtual law office technologies.

Read all about Stephanie in the feature article: Steph Kimbro: Standing Tall Among Giants. This month's related articles include The Case for Lawyering on the Front and Where's the Next Law Office? Virtually Anywhere.

We just nominated next month's Xemplar--a criminal defense attorney in the trenches, fighting for justice--so stay tuned.

Took 'em long enough.
