The quick sinking from sight of NBC’s reality show “The Law Firm” raises the question why the public so often enjoys watching television shows about law and lawyers (and why this particular show proved an exception). In a piece in Sunday’s New York Times “Week in Review”, reporter Jonathan D. Glater quotes me speculating on the subject. (“The Basics: The Oil Price To Be Scared Of” (scroll to second item), Aug. 14).
Other recent publicity, in both cases subscriber-only: the New York Sun quoted me on Friday in an article about the New York City Health Department’s campaign to persuade restauranteurs and grocery stores to get rid of trans fats (which the city itself continues to feed, in some quantities, to schoolchildren among others) (Jill Gardiner, “War on Trans Fats May Lead to Slippery Slope of Lawsuits”, Aug. 12-14). And BestWire, the news service for the insurance business, quoted me last month on what’s in the offing for the Supreme Court after the Senate confirms John Roberts (R.J. Lehmann, “Supreme Court Nominee’s Stance on Insurance Issues Open To Speculation”, Jul. 25).
