What's Your Practice, In Six Words?
Lawyers are communicators and wordsmiths, right? But can they be succinct, pithy? Here’s your challenge of the day. Describe your practice, in six words*. Every sentence in this post complies. None over the six word limit.
We did it, but can you? Some examples, in no particular order:
- Please, please see it my way. – Appellate Practice
- Is too. Is not. Is too. – Civil Litigation
- Lived. Died. Four Kids. All Theirs. – Probate
* for some inspiration, see Six-Word Memoirs. Six-Word Memoirs on Love and Heartbreak. A story on National Public Radio. A review in the New Yorker. A memoir collection on SMITH Magazine. Hemingway was a master at it. “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
