Several interesting things popping today that I’d like to share.
1. Check out the post on Social Intelligence on Bruce MacEwan’s blog, Adam Smith, Esq.  It’s a brief explanation of what social intellligence is, why it matters, and why even (or perhaps especially) lawyers who are not generally inclined to explore such issues ought to pay attention.
2. Bob Sutton has an [...]
In the discussions that led up to the Lawyers Appreciate…  countdown, Stephanie West Allen mentioned the Secret Society of Happy People to me. The name captured me – raptured me! — and it kept floating back to the surface as we were choosing the name for the countdown.
Stephanie recently requested authorization from Pamela Gail Johnson, the creator of [...]
Here’s a list of those who’ve joined in the “Lawyers Appreciate…” countdown. I’ll keep updating it as new posts are added. Thanks to those who are participating!
Added 1/9/07: Although the Lawyers Appreciate… countdown was officialy set to run 12/22-31/06, I’m thrilled to see continuing appreciations! I’ll keep updating as long as legal bloggers keep posting. [...]
Welcome to Day 1 of the 10-day “Lawyers Appreciate” countdown!Â
Stephanie West Allen, the voice behind Idealawg and TrackKnacks, and I have been corresponding for some months now. One of the many topics we’ve discussed is our shared desire to launch an appreciative look at the law, lawyers, and practice in the legal blogosphere. And that’s how the “Lawyers [...]
I enjoy working with law students; I consult with a law school and often join in panels and roundtable discussions with and for students. Beginning just before Thanksgiving, students get very quiet, and those who aren’t quiet are anxiety-ridden. That always prompts me to overwhelming gratitude that I no longer have to suffer law school [...]
What’s better than a really funny lawyer joke?
Funny cartoons by a lawyer, about lawyers/practice, using “insider humor.”
To find out what I’m talking about, visit Scribble-in-Law. I guarantee a smile.
Thinking of leaving the law? Over the last couple of weeks, the JD Bliss blog has featured several stories about lawyers who’ve left the law or found a way to combine practice with creative pursuits like making jewelry and writing. And if you’re a lawyer nurturing a creative dream, read This Time I Dance: Creating the Work [...]
I ran across a cute article today that, tongue-in-cheek, seeks to define common slang as used in large law firms. Tricky stuff, like associate, partner, paralegal, etc. Check it out here.
What’s notable to me about this article and about the lifestyle at which it (not entirely gently) pokes fun? First, humorous as it is, there’s [...]
Is “Fun Monday” an oxymoron? Thought I’d share some humor today… Most of us can use it on Mondays:
Visit Dissociate.net for a daily laugh about some aspect of firm life. The voice behind it says he likes his firm but wants to put the fun back into practice. I think he’s onto something.
Legal Humour is just what [...]
