Lawyers Getting Famous on YouTube?

Submitted by jkimwright on July 25, 2008 - 9:16am

My heart was warmed by this email from Jill Breslau:

I had a funny experience recently and I forgot to tell you. One of my new litigation policies (since unfortunately I am not able to decline to do litigation) is to meet opposing counsel as soon as possible, when he or she is receptive, and build or discover common ground. So I invited an attorney to get together for coffee, tea, whatever, and she responded with an invitation to lunch with her and an associate of her firm. I arrived in the restaurant first and was waiting at the table when she and her associate arrived. The first thing they said was, "How great to meet you! Your hair is lighter than it looked on youtube!"

Kim, I had no idea that Michael would edit that interview so quickly. What a lovely job he did, and thank you so much for including me in that process. And yes, my hair is lighter but not because of the lighting in the interview room. :-)

My reply to them was, "Well, you know me a lot better than I know you, so it's your turn to talk."

I am eager to see this site evolve! Good luck with all this. As always, my hat's off to you.

Love,
Jill

I've wondered how the interviews would affect the lawyers in practice. This seems positive. I'm going to try to embed Jill's video below - it is a two-parter but only one linked here. Check it out.
