One More New Year's Resolution.

ADVERTISEMENTS

Hi folks, I hope everyone gave something back yesterday and did a mitzvah of some kind for somebody else.

I'm going to work on one of my New Year's resolutions and go at least a day (part of a day?) and try to only write positive things, like how this Time Magazine story on Scott Rothstein really makes us all look credible as a legal community:

Scott Rothstein is your typical South Florida wannabe. Obnoxiously flamboyant by most accounts, the Bronx-born Fort Lauderdale attorney had to have the flashiest Rolexes (so he bought a local boutique watch shop), the most houses (luxury mansions and condos from Manhattan to Morocco), the hottest cars (Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini) and the coolest yacht (an 87-footer). He had to leave the heftiest tips, usually at the upscale restaurants he co-owned, and schmooze the most powerful politicians ? like Florida Governor Charlie Crist, for whom Rothstein bought a $52,000 cake, as a contribution to the state's Republican Party, on Crist's 52nd birthday in 2008.

Good thing there are no other lawyers in town who act like that.

Congrats to attorney 266, otherwise known as Christine Nestor, a new partner at Ruden McClosky and resident in their Fort Lauderdale office.

I understand Christine has vowed to personally clean up the shenanigans in her fair city, though given the scope she could probably use a little help.

Either way we're very happy she made partner.

Other than that, it feels a little dead this morning -- anything else going on?
