Does Your Law Firm's Mission Statement Date Back to the Ostrogothic Empire?
Many law firms take great pride in their legacy — especially the pearls of wisdom handed down by the founding partners. For example, Paul Weiss proudly displays its original Firm Principles on its Web site — written by the late Judge Simon Rifkind in 1963.
But what happens when such lofty principles date back centuries rather than mere decades? You might need to selectively quote only those pearls of wisdom that pass muster in today's world. Take a look at Cadwalader, a send-up of just such a scenario by Trophy Dad, a comedy sketch group in New York City.
Finally, some trivia about the video. Trophy Dad chose the name "Cadwalader" for the fictitious law firm featured in the video because one of its members, John Phillips, worked at the real Cadwalader as a paralegal for 1.5 years after college.
