5 Good Reasons Public Speaking May Not Be Working For You

Jul 29, 2011

According to public polls, the number of people suffering from a fear of public speaking trumps fear of death. This has always been hard for me to understand as I have always enjoyed the experience – public speaking that is, not death.

So, what is this fear, exactly, and why is it so paralyzing? The truth is, we’re not really afraid of speaking in public. We’re terrified of being humiliated. It’s a subtle distinction,...

Cross-Dressing Lawyer Hangs Up His Dress

Feb 15, 2007

I just couldn't pass up news about a lawyer supporting women in law, albeit in a rather different way: "A male lawyer who appeared in court dressed in women's clothes as a protest against what he said was New Zealand's overly masculine judiciary was suspended Wednesday after being found to be in contempt of court. "The New Zealand High Court found Rob Moodie, a 68-year-old, balding man who appeared in court in dresses and toting a handbag, was in contempt for circulating suppressed documents outside the court in one of his cases. Moodie officially changed his name to 'Miss Alice'... Read more →

"Sheppard Mullin Launches Fashion & Apparel Practice Group"

Dec 19, 2006

This sounds like a very interesting group! Hmm, wonder if they need any paralegals? "Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton is stepping onto the runway with the launch of its new practice group: fashion and apparel. "From negotiating contracts for TV reality show 'Project Runway' to fending off UGG boot knock-offs, the new group is marketing itself as the go-to firm for Los Angeles and New York's booming fashion industries.

"The Dress Shops"

Nov 16, 2006

Should I be pleased that The New York Times mentioned paralegals in a fashion article or peeved because of how it's worded? "COLLETTE LOVULLO had some qualms about decorating Coco & Delilah, her year-old boutique on St. Marks Place near Avenue A. 'I was trepidatious about the chandelier,' she said, eyeing the multi-tentacled fixture dangling from the ceiling. 'I worried that people would think that it was maybe too much.' [snip] "'Overall there is a retail boom in the area,' said Jonathan Krieger, a commercial real estate agent. Young adults and families are moving in, foot traffic has picked up... Read more →
