Some time back, while researching the subject matter for an article I wanted to write, I came across a piece written by a lawyer in Tennessee. Isn’t the internet wonderful?
It was clearly a scholarly and well researched article ( [The Duty to Preserve: Victor Stanley and its Progeny, ABA Section of Litigation Trial Evidence Committee, 30th June, 2011] and appeared in the Newsletter of the American Bar Association. Having given credit where it was definitely due, I included references to the article in my own composition, Spoiling the Party, published in July 2011, almost exactly two years ago to the day.
It was only a little later that I thought to send a link to the author of the article!! I am glad I did, as you will see.
If you blog or tweet or are an addict of any form of social media you will know that by referring to what others have said or written serves to circulate your views and theirs around the globe, thereby gaining publicity for both of you in a way and at a speed of which our predecessors can only have dreamed!
The author of the article was Carol Owen, now a partner at the Nashville office of Baker Donelson and through her, I was introduced to the Litigation Counsel of America (LCA) of which Millnet is now proud to be a diversity sponsor.
Who says social media does not pay off?
Which brings me to David Steinfeld. David is a Florida lawyer based in Palm Beach Gardens and is a Fellow of the LCA and he wrote an article earlier this year in which he explains how he came to know the President of the Pipe Club of Japan.
There is much more in his excellent and thought provoking article. Read it here. After all, you never know where it might lead!!
