Do you want to build a viral video? Let’s start with one Boston lawyer who has an Elsa costume at the ready. Throw in a nor’easter and a vehicle stuck in the snow. Voila! Internet gold.
Meet Boston lawyer Jason Triplett. Triplett, a BC Law graduate and former associate at Proskauer Rose, is currently the manager of attorney recruiting, training, and development at Kirkland & Ellis in Boston. He’s the star of the viral video that shows him coming to rescue of a Boston police wagon that was stuck in the snow outside a local gastropub, The Gallows. I guess the cold never bothered him anyway.

As the Boston Globe reports, the Boston PD was happy for the assist:
“The officers involved were especially grateful for the help and would like to thank the Elsa-impersonator for the assist,” said Boston police Officer James Kenneally, a spokesman for the department.
People Magazine caught up with Triplett, and he has big plans for his brush with fame:
Context Windows In Legal AI And Why Content Still Determines Quality
Legal teams ask a practical question. If large language models are so capable, why does legal AI still depend on curated content, and why does surfacing that content matter so much?
Playing down his heroic feat, Triplett says his fame will be fleeting as snow on a hot day.
“Everyone will be over it by noon,” Triplett tells PEOPLE. “But if this is my 15 minutes, I would like to leverage it to meet Adam Rippon.”
For the first time in forever, a vehicle stuck in the snow will actually make you smile.
