Professional Development:: Careeer Success and Life Fulfillment

Cordell Parvin

I have always enjoyed trying to understand why some people are very successful and why others are not.

Most of us start our law careers with great enthusiasm and then, to borrow a phrase from a new Seth Godin book, 'we hit the dip'. This clarity of career and life priorities helps successful lawyers get through the dips.

CA Considers Law to Protect Band Names

Cheryl Miller

Every night in Las Vegas, Baby Boomers plunk down $47.30 each and file into the Sahara Hotel & Casino's Congo Room to revisit the sounds of their youth. They've come to spend an evening with 'The Platters, Drifters, Coasters.' It's a performance steeped in nostalgia, save one element: None of the artists on stage were ever members of the musical groups that most remember as the Platters, the Coasters or the Drifters.
