Five for Friday #92: I don't wanna lose you now . . .
I am referring to the halftime "entertainment" at the 1992 Super Bowl.
THAT is what passed for entertainment in 92??? It's miracle that there was a Super Bowl XVII!
As an aside, loyal readers know that I preach competence. Well, even taking the relative competence of the halftime acts out of the discussion, the program's internal structure demonstrates an utter LACK of competence. What kind of presentation whose theme is "winter" features a closing act whose band is the Miami Sound Machine?!?!?
This season, the game returns to Minneapolis, with Super Bowl LII scheduled to be played outdoors in the gleaming new U.S. Bank Stadium. Likely the Pittsburgh Steelers against a sacrificial lamb from the NFC. And guess what was announced earlier this week?
Justin Timberlake will headline the halftime show. Talk about competence!!!!
A few weeks ago, I used this space to confess I'm a Swiftie. Here's another right hand on a cold one confession: I'm a big fan of JT.
that part at the end where the chorus is sung without any instruments. I love when that happens in a song. I haven't finalized the choreography yet, but that's probably when I'll point the mic at the crowd and have you sing along.
Consider this an open casting call.
It's Celebrate Pro Bono week. So, this week's questions focus on the pro bono rules.
How much pro bono work do the rules encourage Vermont attorneys to provide per year?
True or false: the rules exempt government & non-profit attorneys from the pro bono expectation.
Client retains Lawyer in a divorce. Client agrees to pay Lawyer an hourly fee. The fee agreement is reduced to a writing that is signed by Client.
The matter ends with a final order. By then, Client has paid less than 10% of the total fee and owes Lawyer for approximately 60 hours of work. Lawyer writes off the bill.
May Lawyer claim the 60 hours as pro bono?
A. Yes, because Lawyer did not get paid.
B. Yes, as long as Lawyer does not continue to try to collect the bill.
C. Yes, but cannot claim the hours if Client decides voluntarily to pay.
Which section of the rules is relaxed for lawyers who do pro bono work at short-term legal services programs sponsored by non-profits or government agencies?
At various live quizzes, I've used questions related to the ethics of P2P filing sharing and the legal battle between Napster & Metallica.
Your task: name the movie in which Justin Timberlake played Sean Parker, the co-founder of Napster.
