Going Mobile

We now live in a world where anybody can work almost anywhere and be completely wired and ready to go. For example, if poolside is your thing, by all means grab a chaise lounge, but don't forget your cellular phone, pager, notebook, and Palm Pilot.

Falling for Fashion (Frugally)

As the weather finally starts to turn cooler and Fashion Week fades into memory, it's time for lawyers to update their looks for the new season.

But though it is to be commended for its philanthropy, Carmody's competitors can hardly be classified as a bunch of tightwads. "As a group, lawyers are among ... the most generous," insists Brian T.

ABA Legal Missionaries Celebrate 15 Years of Learning

Within 48 hours of arriving in Uzbekistan, Donna Wright saw her first camel, climbed a medieval minaret and helped organize a meeting of women lawyers in Samarqand. Following that, her travels took her to Osh, Kyrgyzstan and beyond. Wright is among hundreds of American lawyers who have gone abroad to build the rule of law over the past 15 years.
