Be a Lawyer, You Love to Argue
(ACC Docket — May)
A quick straw poll at a recent ACC MiniMBA showed that all the former litigators in the room eventually moved out of this area of their profession for one reason: they got tired of always arguing. If all the good litigators leave, who will represent you in court? Is there a way that in-house counsel can protect the company and reduce the amount of arguing the litigators must do?
This month’s ACC Docket features a variety of articles on areas that can impact your litigation efforts, including: ediscovery, internal investigations, personal injury claims, patent infringement, the Consumer Legal Remedies Act and Six Sigma.
In addition, you will find an interview tailored just for you in this month’s “Tips & Insights” section — one of the top-read departments in the magazine according to ACC Docket’s 2008 Readership Survey. Editor Maggy Baccinelli interviews Amar Sarwal from the National Chamber Litigation Center on hot button litigation issues and current cases affecting business. As general litigation counsel, Sarwal provides insights on how to improve your litigation game, stressing the importance of cost benefit analysis prior to pursuing litigation, a pointed brief that tells a story, and careful management of outside counsel.
Maybe not all lawyers like to argue, but I bet you like to win. This issue of ACC Docket helps you get just that much closer to victory.
