HADLEY - ON - SPORTS

Welcome to In-House Trials and Tribs

The purpose of this blog is to create an outlet for in-house attorneys to use as a vehicle to either wax poetically or rant about their daily trials and tribs that are symptomatic of corporate law. Go ahead and tell us how you want to pull your hair out at the next utterance of a 10-Q or a 10-K. Get it all out. Tell us how your general counsel or VP resembles the Peter Lumberg character from Office Space and how you sometimes you get that "Nine to Five" urge to make like Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin and see what a little skull and crossbones creamer can do for your career. Go ahead and tell us about your favorite movies, tv. shows, and how your fascination with TiVo, and your blackberry, has caused you to rethink your purpose in life. Explain to everybody here how you think the sole purpose for marketing departments in many companies is to see how many times they can bypass state do-not-call regs, violate trademark law, and piss off as many customers as possible in one day. Come here to tell us how you just saved your legal department enormous billables from outside counsel (hereinafter "the outsiders" who think they know more than us because we don't work 90 hours a week and take valium like candy a.k.a. "the city firm rats" as compared to the "the country corporate rats" which you belong to because you are more naive and underpaid and you think your not as quick or as cunning as those city firm rats ) by resolving a case from scratch, yet you get no pat on the back. Go ahead, pat your own back. Get it all out. We're hear to listen, to rant, to sympathize, to empathize, to console, to amuse, and to bemuse. I guarantee you'll feel much better and better able to control the homicidal, restless feelings that come over you when numbers and letters are used together again.

Cheers,
In-House Lou
