Video Tour Diary Day 7: David Lat & Steve Brill; Bye Bye NYC, Hello DC

We couldn’t leave Manhattan without a hearing from two of the lawyers responsible for changing the face of legal journalism – both 30 years ago and right now.

David Lat: Gossip at Law

“I confess to a fondness for gossip, which, indeed, is a conservative genre. Gossips do not want to change the world; they want to enjoy it.”
—Jeffrey Peter Hart
Essayist and professor emeritus at Dartmouth College

Here are two questions that have appeared on the supplemental law school entry exam designed by Marjorie Shultz and Sheldon Zedeck.

Michael Will: With the Program

Michael Will probably wasn’t the first finance attorney to look at a derivatives security and think, “There’s got to be an easier way of doing this.” But he certainly is one of the first attorneys to actually try to find that easier way.

Ken Adams: Word Miser

Ken Adams cannot stand legal jargon. If a contract contains the word witnesseth, the transactional lawyer shudders. The old-fashioned phrase represents and warrants is another common culprit, a waste of time and energy, according to Adams.

Video Tour Diary Day 3: Made it to Manhattan

By Day Three, we have one valuable lesson learned: The longer into the night one edits video and multimedia, the more punchy/silly one becomes.

Dan Schwartz: Bar Known

Dan Schwartz is a rabid Yankees fan, a former contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, a father of three and a Connecticut Bar Association junkie—although, as his Twitter bio notes, not necessarily in that order.

Susan Cartier Liebel: Solos’ Champion

There’s a framed picture of a prowling snow leopard in Susan Cartier Liebel’s living room. It’s a stunning piece, a limited-edition print Liebel loves both for the way it looks and for what it represents.
