Solo and small law firm practitioners, like small libraries, have a tough time achieving certain purchasing economies of scale. Bar associations offer some group discounts, but not always for what solo and small law firm practitioners need. Sometimes you need the strength, and heft, of bulk-buying behind you:

Many lawyers, law professors, and judges have to talk to the press (print and online news writers and reporters) at some time in their careers. Sometimes reporters just want some background information, facts checked, or some legal procedural step clarified. But sometimes, the lawyer IS the story, or at least the only story the news-writer has access to.

What do you do and say if your client is a party to a news-worthy case? More to the point, what do you say if you’re a new lawyer and you’ve not yet been battle scarred by badly written, inaccurate, misspelled, and potentially harmful (to your client) news stories?

The Oregon State Bar public website has a great new look. There is a lot of information in print and on video.

The Legal Links cable TV shows are terrific and worth watching if you need information about landlord-tenant law, DUII, Small Claims Court, and many more. If you don’t have a computer, please visit your public library or public law library. Many, most, libraries have computers and headphones you can use to listen to these OSB programs.

While on a rare, and all too brief, break from work, I caught, so to speak, a wonderful, and not a little bit terrifying, interview on Fresh Air with Peter Laufer, author of “Forbidden Creatures: Inside the World of Animal Smuggling and Exotic Pets.”

It was hard on the heels of my Exotic Pets post: Animal Law: Thou Shall Not Covet Exotic Pets in Oregon (and beyond)
