The Simpsons’ Clever Courthouse Logo I think “The Simpsons” is consistently among the funniest, most-clever shows on television. And one of my favorite parts are the throw-away gags in the margins that target a narrow audience or demographic. If you’re…
An awesome courtroom drama… cartoon. We’ve all seen the classic “trial” movies. 12 Angry Men. To Kill a Mockingbird. Anatomy of a Murder. Inherit the Wind. Witness for the Prosecution. Judgment at Nuremberg. Even The Verdict, although it regularly makes me…
You MUST see these profile photos. Lynn Hajek is a terrific litigator — smart, funny, and tough (think Elle Woods from Legally Blonde without the naiveté). Her firm, AHL, has a high-quality Manhattan med mal defense practice. It also has a decade-old website — sadly, it’s…
“College on a Raft” and Law Firm Marketing. My third son, Jonathan, is a high school junior. Darn smart kid, he’s getting all sorts of daily mail from colleges all over the US. Good ones, great ones, many I’ve never…

Drinker Biddle’s Clever Holiday Card. Holiday cards are tricky. Law firms want to be creative and memorable, while needing to avoid anything marketing-oriented, religious, or clichéd (no snowy skylines, children’s artwork, pine trees, etc.). We must cut through the clutter…
Opryland’s 24 MPH speed limit – and your website statistics. Opry Mills, the mega-mall outside of the Grand Ole Opry, has a curious 24 MPH speed limit. It caused us to wonder about it. Why 24 instead of the typical…
We’ll miss you, Judi. Legal Marketing lost a kind and loving person this week, Judi Weingarz. A pillar in Chicago’s LMA community for decades, she was most recently the Director of Marketing at the Interlex Group. Judi was wonderful – smart,…
