Hi lawyers! I’m entering law school in the fall and I’ll be transitioning from a career that required lots of shmoozing and self promotion, which I really disliked doing. Just wondering, in your opinion, what areas of law require the most amount of schmoozing/networking? And the least?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
>Resplendent in a sleek navy blue suit, his burnished dome gleaming in the light, Michael Jordan steps into the tunnel of Cleveland's Gund Arena, flashes a million-watt smile and gives LeBron James, the top high school player in the country, a warm, we're-old-pals handshake. "Where's Mama?" Jordan asks.

>"She's in New Orleans," LeBron says, grinning at the memory of how well his mother, Gloria, had gotten on with Jordan when they met in Chicago last summer.

>It's 10 p.m. on the last night of January, and the moment feels charged, even a little historic. Remember that photograph of a teenaged Bill Clinton meeting JFK? Same vibe. Here, together, are His Airness and King James, the 38-year-old master and the 17-year-old prodigy, the best of all time and the high school junior whom some people--from drooling NBA general managers to warring shoe company execs to awestruck fans--believe could be the Air Apparent.

>Jordan has just hit another buzzer-beater to sink the Cavaliers, but another game is afoot. A spectacularly gifted 6'7", 225-pound guard who averages 29.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists for St. Vincent-St. Mary High in Akron, LeBron is thought to possess all the elements necessary to do for some apparel company what Jordan did for Nike. Not only does he have the requisite high-flying game and an Iversonian street cred that Jordan himself lacked, but he can also turn on the charm when necessary. It's why LeBron is a year from signing what's expected to be the most lucrative shoe deal in history for an NBA rookie, estimated at $20 million over five years, and why Jordan, who represents his own division of Nike athletic wear, would want LeBron in the Swoosh family.

>Tonight, however, LeBron is wearing a black coat and stocking cap bearing the logo of Adidas, his high school team's sponsor, which Jordan can't help but notice yet chooses to ignore. They schmooze for a few minutes, bantering about LeBron's upcoming game, until Jordan leaves, offering this piece of advice: "One dribble, stop and pull up. That's what I want to see."

>LeBron nods and smiles. "That's my guy," he says. All things considered, it's hard to decide what's more impressive--that LeBron could be hailed as the best high school player even though he's only a junior, or that many NBA scouts believe he would be the first pick in this year's draft (if league rules didn't forbid his entering it), or that he can get an audien

It is pre dawn here and I just got home after working some late night overtime and I think it is an appropriate time to write these thoughts. I was born in 86' and I remember my Dad had WFAN on constantly anytime I was in the car with him no matter what hour of the day. But the earliest memories were always Mike and The Dog during the afternoon drive after he would pick me up from school as a kid. As I got older and grew into a man I started listening more at night and fell in love with the style of Steve Somers. The first and only time I called the FAN was in 06', when I was I in College, to talk about the great run the Mets were taking into the post-season which we all know ended tragically. After then I went into my dream career which required a lot of overnight work...I'm talking years. And that voice and wit was always there with me all along the way. I've spent countless hours listening to Steve...I'm gonna miss him. This Captain Midnight disciple will be waking up for the farewell address at 1pm
