Happy Law Firm Appreciation Month!

If you’ve been rooting for Aaron Charney in the Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell litigation, you have a duty to change your allegiances — at least for the rest of March.
Why? Because March, in case you didn’t know, is Law Firm Appreciation Month!!!
We didn’t realize this until we received this press release, from a public relations person at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey:

THE RITZ-CARLTON, MARINA DEL REY TIPS THE SCALES DURIING LAW FIRM APPRECIATION MONTH

MARINA DEL REY, Ca. – March 2007 – Indulge in a waterfront luxury hotel experience during Law Firm Appreciation Month at The Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey. Let the ladies and gentlemen of The Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey relieve the pressures of legal professionals’ daily work agendas and demands with special amenities provided during the month of March. Simply relax and rejuvenate your mind, body and soul in the comforts of the hotel’s recently remodeled accommodations, which offer all the personalized amenities you deserve and breathtaking views of the marina and city skyline that you crave.

The promotion includes a complimentary upgrade, subject to availability, and a shoeshine. Sounds nice enough, even if not mind-blowing.
But some are less than impressed. From one of our favorite hotel blogs, HotelChatter:

Sounds kinda like some half-assed appreciation to us, especially since that room upgrade happens only when its available. And while shoeshines work just fine for men, one female lawyer said she would be happier with a pedicure and a glass of wine.

Thanks, Alison….
