More things for lawyers
Get the adrenalin flowing in a meeting with the American, "stress-relieving" conference bike. The inventor claims that it is a "party on wheels", that it "lowers inhibitions", and that everyone who rides one "lights up smiling….". Don’t rate its chances over here though.
A New York lawyer and some of her colleagues have invented the "Octopus" strap to make it easier to carry pesky files to court or a meeting.
"The Curmudgeon’s Guide to Practicing Law" is a book by Jones Day litigation partner, Mark Hermann. It tells you how to be an effective associate (for those that aren’t already of course) and practice law successfully.
Apparently it offers "practical and honest, if blunt, advice for surviving and thriving in a law firm. Find out what drives partners crazy, what will impress them and what ten mistakes you should avoid. Concise, humorous and full of valuable (but curmudgeonly) insight, this is a must-read for every lawyer and law student."
