Around the water cooler

My first blog

Hi all, my name is Olivia Clarke and I will be one of Chicago Lawyer’s bloggers. I am also a reporter for the magazine and I welcome all your ideas and suggestions for future story ideas.

In addition to searching for story ideas, I am going to try to also discuss current events, Chicago happenings and movies. I want to provide members of the legal community with a place to talk about lighter topics as they wait for that next call or client meeting.

I recently wrote about lawyers volunteering their time, expertise and fundraising skills to presidential campaigns. I am looking for members of the legal community who would like to share their stories about volunteering their time to help different politicians, and the enjoyment they got from those experiences. You can share those stories in the comment or discussion section of this blog.
