"The rules do not define a "technique [...] to obtain attention" or explain what sorts of techniques are "relevan[t] to the selection of counsel." Nor do they provide any guidance as to what lawyer characteristics are deemed to be "unrelated to legal competence" or what sorts of statements "impl[y] an ability to obtain results in a matter." The rules, by their plain language, are so broad in scope as to cover essentially every advertisement ever used by an attorney beyond a business card, letterhead, or resume."

This is very true. While professionals in other fields enjoy a marked lack of illogical restrictions on advertising, the legal field imposes restrictions that give word-of-mouth the greatest power. In our field, rumors can promote or assassinate a career at any time. If you are interested in the issue, check out Turkewitz's post at the New York Personal Injury Law Blog.


Speaking of personal injuries, here's a piece you are bound to admire: Peter Lattman's May 29 post on the Wall Street Journal Law Blog entitled "Ultimate Fighting: Lawyer's Edition." Lattman discusses two lawyers from opposing sides who started brawling during an employee-employer negotiation. While their clients have settled the dispute between themselves, the lawyers are still fighting each other in a lawsuit over the brawl.

If you generally try to avoid situations like the one described above, there's a great post for you on Stephanie West Allen's idealawg: "The big advantage to knowing your own biases." This piece is so good that I'll let you check it out yourselves rather than blabbing and killing the impact.

Well, I'll see you folks next week, but in passing, and while still on the topic of mindsets, there's a new word in the field called "plaintiphobia." Yes, that's "plaint-i-phobia." A May 30 post on Deliberations deliberates upon this word used by Cornell professors and the research that coined it. Like it? I love it!
