Date: April 21st, 2013 9:19 PM Author: Vibrant Pea-brained Meetinghouse International Law. But in all seriousness, just pick a case you've worked on and explain it as simply as possible like, "Sometimes when two companies love each other a whole lot they want to be close to each other so they do a special dance and become one company. And sometimes after this happens another bad guy lawyer will come along and sue one of the companies on behalf of a consolidated class of noteholders. And that company's fairy god insurer might deny a claim made under its D&O policy so I have to convince a judge to force the fairy god insurer to turn over all its magical correspondence. Then I get the friendly forest animals to help read through all the fairy god insurer's correspondence looking for naughty things." |
