Keeping It Brief
If I had more time, I would have written a shorter blog post. Actually, that’s what I’m going to do. Right now.
This is my participation in the Let’s Be Brief writing contest at Middle Zone Musings. I love these group projects, and I figured the legal blogosphere should be represented. Here are my stories, in six words or less (that’s the object of the contest).
1. Objection, hearsay! Who said? He did.
2. May it please the court? NO!!
3. Lawyer driving; hit bumper for lawsuit.
4. Ambulance chaser fell, bought running …

Don’t Go to the Doctor; Just Search Blogs
That’s what a good friend of mine said. Honestly, it struck me like a ton of bricks. I’m definitely a fan of blogs and I love the awesome information they convey, but I also value a doctor’s visit now and then. Here’s the story:
Apparently this friend had some kind-of sore and swelling on her lips. The doctors couldn’t figure it out for the life of them. She finally googled her symptoms. She found a blogger who went through the same thing and explained the cause. It turns out that mango skin contains a …
My Favorite WordPress Plugins
The other day I wrote a post that prompted a great comment from Law Student. One thing he wondered was what WordPress plugins I use here at Legal Andrew.
So many choices!
One thing I love about WordPress is the endless opportunities for customization. There are thousands of themes and plugins you can install. This makes it so even the least tech-able person can have a WordPress blog that looks & performs exactly the way he wants it.
However, part of the difficulty with …

About Me – My Five Favorite Movies
You may have seen these “memes” going around. Other people call it “blog tag.” Basically, you answer a question and tag several other bloggers to answer it as well. Most of them are of a personal nature. It helps build community, reveals details about bloggers, and also shares some link love.
From now on, when I participate in one of these, I’ll start the title with “About Me.” You can quickly see that it’s personal. If you’re not interested, you can easily skip the post altogether. But, if you’d like to know more about …
Lawyers Appreciate Clients Who Foster Productivity
Anastasia passed me the baton for the 10-day “lawyers appreciate” countdown. I love group projects, so here’s my post.
Of course lawyers appreciate their clients. After all, they are the ones who pay the bill. More importantly, lawyers (hopefully) exist to serve their clients.
However, in keeping with the theme here, I wanted to point out how clients can be appreciated even more by lawyers: foster productivity.
Understand time demands
It’s been said before, and I’ll say it again: Your matter is most important to you, but …
