A Sobering Reminder – Life is Not Work

I recently read a sobering article in the New York Times, which serves as a good reminder that life is not all about work.  It should also be treated as a rallying cry for all legal professionals to slow down every once in a while, observe warning signs from colleagues, Read more…

Thanksgiving – the Origin of America’s National Holiday

We have all heard the stories of the first Thanksgiving. The Pilgrims, Native Americans, Plymouth Rock, the Mayflower – these are stories that have been passed down for generations in America.

Spring Has Arrived

As cold weather and near blizzard conditions ravage the midwest, south, and eastern seaboard of the United States, it seems ridiculous to say that spring has finally arrived throughout the entire country.  No, it has nothing to do with Groundhog Day, nor does it have anything to do with the Read more…

What Do You Think Domestic Violence Looks Like?

Almost everyone in America now knows Ray Rice.  Not for his football prowess, his multiple Pro Bowl selections, or his Super Bowl ring.  They know him as the woman beater and domestic abuser.  Certain life events involving professional athletes have a tendency to go beyond the realm of what only Read more…

Book Review: The Jungle

Many people read this book in high school, and if they didn’t, they should now.  Not only is Upton Sinclair a phenomenal writer, but he’s also an inspiring political activist.  At a time when workers had little to no rights, protections, or collective bargaining abilities, Sinclair brought cultural awareness to Read more…
