My inbox blew up after Above the Law, a snarky legal blog, leaked a notorious memo from United Kingdom-based Clifford Chance. The memo, which reportedly only went to the firm’s female associates, gave presentation tips for young lawyers.

Unfortunately, some of the tips were of the “don’t giggle” variety—too many, apparently, for many critics’ taste. The memo set off a firestorm of criticism aimed at the firm and the author of the offending document.
