A Sore Thumbs Up To Lawyer Mobility

"I'm addicted to CrackBerry." It�s a funny word play, but the real addiction for lawyers relates to the instant, wireless e-mailing capability of the BlackBerry as opposed to the device itself. For mobile lawyering, the critical tool is the wireless device, which can include cell phones, PDAs, smartphones and/or laptops. And, if you�re annoyed at the CrackBerry addicts wandering around, heads down, typing frantically with their thumbs, be prepared, because the number of mobile lawyers is growing rapidly.

Orator Jim O'Rourke: In Praise Of Eloquence

As much as an inanimate object like a house can be imbued with life and a personality, a particular one at 274 Pembroke Street in Bridgeport had it. You could see that even before you found out who lived there. It was defiant, standing alone against the elements - both weather and human - and encroaching environs, and at the same time resigned to its fate: heroic, magnificent, doomed.
