April 30, 2008
Surely you know that May 1 is Law Day, and I do hope you remembered Administrative Professionals’ Day last Wednesday.Â
But did you miss Lawyerpalooza 2008 (which offered “great rock n’ roll from your favorite Seattle law firm bands to benefit Seattle elementary school music programs”) or the Columbia Law School Law Revue Spring Show, both held on April 24? If you’re in Minnesota, did you know that May 1 is also Legal Assistant/Paralegal Day? Or that Colorado, Utah, and Ohio also celebrate Paralegal Day in May?
Not to worry. The Billable Hour Company knows you have plenty of things you need to keep track of, so they’ve created the Billable Hour Company Legal Holidays and Events Calendar to spread information about all of the local, state and federal holidays that celebrate lawyers and legal professionals. The Calendar, which also includes also includes information about fun law-related events, is available on the company’s Resources page. For those of you who want to share the calendar, it’s also available as a widget that can be installed on any website or blog, and as a Facebook application. And you can even export dates into a Google calendar. What could be easier?
“One purpose behind our Calendar is to counter the general public’s negative opinion of lawyers and the legal profession by disseminating information about holidays that focus on the legal community’s contributions to society. We also hope that learning about these holidays also improves the morale of lawyers and other legal professionals,” says company partner Lisa Solomon. Partner Mark Solomon added, “The Billable Hour Company has always been a proponent of the pursuit of work/life balance through humor. We want to encourage lawyers to let off steam, and to support their colleagues’ creative endeavors, by attending the fun law-related events listed on the Calendar.”
