<b>Meyerowitz on Marketing</b>Strutting Your Stuff: The Advantages Of Seminar Marketing

Steven A. Meyerowitz

Seminars, which were "the way to go in the 1990s," remain hot. That makes a great deal of sense. After all, a seminar provides lawyers with the opportunity to strut their stuff for existing clients (reminding them why they hired the lawyers in the first place and subtly suggesting that the initial retention decision was correct) and in front of prospective new clients (to whom the message is, "Look what these people know. I should ask them to help when our company has a problem."). In short, "seminars bring clients and contacts into your office."

The Burden Of Technology

Stanley P. Jaskiewicz

Businesses invest in technology to save money. They hope that the latest invention will live up to the marketers' claims of efficiencies over old ways of doing business. <br>But paradoxically, when "computing" the savings, don't forget the extra costs ' the "technology burden" as it's called ' imposed by innovation, whether cutting edge or mainstream. Keep in mind that sometimes you have to spend more ' a lot more ' before you can spend less.

<b>Commentary:</b> Speed Passage Of The Telecommuter Tax Fairness Act

Nicole Belson Goluboff

Now that the 109th session of Congress is well under way, passing The Telecommuter Tax Fairness Act must be a top priority for legislators. This proposed legislation would prohibit states from imposing a punitive tax on nonresidents who choose to telecommute some or most of the time to in-state employers. By proscribing such a tax, the law would remove a significant obstacle to the continued growth of an important form of e-commerce: interstate telework.

  • Divorce Lawyers' Obligation to Children
    Do divorce lawyers have an obligation to disclose client confidences when it is in the best interests of the client's child to do so? The short answer of the rules of professional responsibility is 'no' because a 'yes' answer is deemed to be fundamentally inconsistent with the premises of the adversary system in which the divorce lawyer functions. The longer answer is that the rules encourage ' but do not require ' a divorce lawyer to counsel the client to authorize the disclosure because it is in the best interests of both parent and child.
