Pa. Supreme Court to Decide Employer Sensitive Issues

A Complaint, Suspicions and Contradictions
 SHINGLE HANGING 101
Growing the Client Base, Maintaining Balance in a Solo Practice

Break even. From a business perspective, this is what I hear over and over again about where I should aim to be at the end of my first year. Most people tell me that anything better than that would be a really great year, but it's unlikely and out of reach. If someone tells me something is out of reach, though, I reach for it.

Nearly all associates, if they really think about it, can cite to an example of their own sheer laziness. At the very least, associates can cite to times when they consciously delivered an acceptable, but not exceptional, work product.

 PRACTICE OF LIFE
Find Focus to Be Your Best in 2010

 PECKING ORDER

 YOUNG LAWYERS DIVISION
Philadelphia Bar Association's YLD

As I begin the year as chairwoman of the Philadelphia Bar Association's Young Lawyers Division, I am truly excited. During the four years that I have been an active member of the YLD Executive Committee, the YLD has served as an invaluable resource to my legal career and I am thrilled to lead the organization that has given me so many opportunities.
