Legal Technology Leadership Summit: Golfing Isn't Just For Doctors
When they asked me “Do you golf,” I naturally responded with “You know I’m not bad, and I love the FaceGen technology, but my swing seems to have a natural fade that I can’t correct for unless I line up the controller exactly right, and that’s frustrating.” Much to my surprise, they weren’t asking me […]

I've been working in small law firms my whole career — nearly 17 years. I'd like to tell you that I chose this path for carefully considered and noble reasons, but I can't. In truth, I ended up on the small-firm path for one simple reason: A blonde. Let me explain. Now it's not what you think. I didn't turn my back on a BigLaw career to pursue a flaxen-haired beauty. That would almost be romantic, and this is a serious law blog. Ish. No, the story is a bit more prosaic. -
