About this talk

Aphorism enthusiast and author James Geary waxes on a fascinating fixture of human language: the metaphor. Friend of scribes from Aristotle to Elvis, metaphor can subtly influence the decisions we make, Geary says..."

This post was written by Greg Lambert: "Great read over at LOMAP on Research Trails: Breadcrumbs for Recovering (the) Most of Your Research Buck.  This is a good follow up read to the post we did here on 3 Geeks asking if a lawyer really needs premium tools like Westlaw to practice.  Jared Correia at LOMAP points out that there are a lot of state and local bar associations that provide its members with free legal research tools - in Massachusetts it is Casemaker (same here in Texas).  In some other states it is Fastcase.  So, if you're state bar is providing you with access to these services, are you using them??  If not, why? Are you stupid or something??..."

In the news: "A callback interview is not the time to coast on the success of earlier interviews, say consultants Valerie Fontaine and Roberta Kass. It's a good idea to brainstorm and come up with some fresh information to discuss, and be prepared to be "on" for many hours with more than one interviewer."

 

Topics discussed include:

OBJECTIVES

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

PREPARATION

REPETITION

THE LONG HAUL

INTERRUPTIONS

This post was written by Randall Ryder: "Electronic discovery, while undergoing constant change, is still considered uncharted territory. What kinds of information is discoverable is still debated, along with methods for recovering that information. More and more businesses conduct electronic discovery, but examining hard drives is still very expensive. The amount of information available, however, is not in doubt. As this recent article notes, Google stores search data forever..."

This post was written by Cordell Parvin: "Yesterday I wrote that the old associate dream of just getting hours and keeping their senior lawyer happy no longer works in this economy. In many firms leaders tell their associates: "We just want you to do good work." In other words, the last thing on earth they would want you to do is to spend time building relationships with clients and potential clients. That culture is fine until the economy tanks as it has recently, those firms lay off associates and income partners who "just do good work."

...

If you want your firm to do client development programs for your junior associates, focus on these three main areas..."

This post was written by Kevin O'Keefe: "Bill Pollak, the CEO of American Lawyer Media (ALM), the leading provider of current legal news through national and regional publications, has an interesting piece this week in BtoB Media Business on why media leaders need to enter the social media waters.

Pollak explains he's not blogging, Tweeting, and using Facebook because he has nothing do. He often finds "social media to be tedious and frustrating." Pollak actively participates in social media because he's "convinced that these tools will be the future of b-to-b media."
