I just got this email from a lawyer that I have worked with several times over the years. I hope all lawyers get an email like this once in their practice – mine is pushing 36 years. Retirement has freed me of the political and financial strains of formal law firm culture, liberating my mind to see the practice, and the practitioners, as they are. I wanted to reach out to you to tell you that in my view you stand out in the crowd for many reasons.

Tip of the Week Defrost food under controlled temperature conditions in the fridge Freezing food at -18°C will put any bacteria present on pause, but it will not generally kill it. Therefore, you must defrost under controlled temperatures in the fridge (keeping the food below 8°C) to ensure that any bacteria does not revive as the food defrosts. Do not defrost in the kitchen or in the sink – always plan ahead and defrost overnight under controlled conditions in the fridge.
