Running dog Yankee Mr. Oliver want fries with this?
Hooters restaurants in China? Say it ain't so, Joe. Los Angeles Times: Hooters Underscores Mixed Sexual Messages in China. Maybe Greater China lawyer Dan Harris would weigh in? Mr. Harris, you speaking to us these days? Lord knows no one else is. Anyone? Please yes to have picture taken with the American Mister Dane Hool. We meet once on Sint Jacobsstraat in Amsterdam. Fun guy. Way cool. Click-click.

The Rules
Four years ago, we put this blog and the firm behind it at considerable risk of being known as the lawyer-authors of a genre how-to book, i.e., "Who Moved My Bates-Stamp?". We completed writing The Rules of Client Service. There are (gulp) 12 of them. They derive from an irreverent and pithy office guide for associates we wrote in 1997. They are based on actual experience over many years. We've more than given them a whirl. The rules work with the most sophisticated users of legal services on earth. If you scroll down a little, they are also on your left in this blog's side panel.

Lawyer: "We're your friends. We're not like the others."

How often does a magazine 10 months old help you do anything? Here are some fine resources for the washed, unwashed, in-between, employed, unemployed, underemployed, elites, profs, geeks, minders, finders, grinders and generic law cattle: "50 Web Resources for the Suddenly Solo Lawyer" by Jim Calloway and Allison Shields in the July 2009 edition of Law Practice Today. Caution re: the stuff on stress management: If you really need to get smarter on that, maybe you signed up for the wrong post-graduate study. Law practice is stress. Our suggestion: Make stress your friend. Shake hands with Mr. Stress.
