Note from the Editor: Looking Forward to 2008

By ALM Staff | Law Journal Newsletters |
December 21, 2007

As I sit here writing this, it is six days before Christmas and I'm feeling the pinch of getting everything accomplished before my family and friends arrive for a two-day, non-stop celebration complete with large gatherings on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Christmas Evening. All the cards have been sent, the gifts wrapped, the charitable donations made and now I turn my attention to the food, and when you are Italian, there's a lot of it ' but I digress.

By the time all of you will be reading this, we will be in a new year and a new year brings new projects and new challenges, all of which are exciting and fulfilling. At this point in my career, I have the luxury of taking on engagements for which I have a real interest and can make a significant contribution. Lots of projects come to my attention in one way or another and, while many offer lucrative remuneration, if I cannot 'wrap my arms around' the project, I tend to pass on it. I have always believed that any engagement or project has to be fun and fulfilling because if it is not, you might get it right, but you will never feel like you accomplished the real end game ' success.
