Important Habits of Highly Lame Outside Counsel
As we've explained in several past posts, "Ernie from Glen Burnie" is a life-long friend. He played football for one of the Ivies. Smart. Guy's guy. Ladies man. Renaissance human. Playful rogue. Lawyer's lawyer. And a real friend. Imagine an Anglo-Irish Scott Greenfield. Or a hopelessly irreverent Whizzer White.
He is now a partner at a well-known Washington, D.C. law firm with clients much like my own firm's: large, publicly-traded and presenting complex problems. You can read Ernie's breathtaking story--it's about an old parchment he claims was discovered in Alexandria, Virginia around the same time we both began practicing law in The District--at "The Seven Habits of Highly Useless Corporate Lawyers".
Lawyers who won't take a stand: a time-honored tradition.
Stand-up guys: Ernie (looking vaguely like Neal Cassady) and WAC during the Beat years.
