There's a wee frosting of snow across New England this morning -- just enough to spark plenty of slip-n-fall lawsuits, I bet. Lawyers are all over the place, as the Boston Globe Magazine published an article on holistic lawyering yesterday. Shocking facts include: lawyers hate their jobs, 50% would not recommend a legal career to their children, and 70% would start a new career if they could. Ouch! And why is this? 84% say they are not helping to make the world a better place, as they had hoped. Enter my alma mater and the progressive lawyering movement, though -- maybe there's hope!

In the meantime, enjoy a little lawyer-loathing: the group Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch announced the winners of its annual Wacky Warning Labels contest. Past winners too. My favorite: "Never use hairdryer while sleeping." Whaaa?
