The Pee Wee Player Who Rescued a Lawyer in a Pickle
|
In the law - as in baseball - if you're not careful you can find yourself in a pickle.
It's not a good place to be. Enemies try to force you into pickles. Friends and competent counsel help you get out of them.
And so, in an act of soul-cleansing I must confess to spending one summer not only encouraging others to get caught in pickles, but showing them how to do it.

At Lawyers Mutual, we are often asked whether we have a sample conflict of interest waiver the caller can use. Our reply is always "no," because a conflict of interest waiver is highly specific. It must be tailored to the circumstances of the conflict. We can, however, give some guidance on the type of information that should be included in a conflict of interest waiver to make it more likely to stand up to a challenge.

Word processing is one of the most common job duties in an office.
Whether its editing a letter, typing court documents, or using inter-office forms, many of us are typing constantly.
For most of us today, this means we are using Microsoft Word frequently.
