Anonymous Lawyer Follow Up: Working Mom/Lawyer Competition.

“Working Mother” recently released its list of the 50 Best Law Firms for Women to Work. Its always good to hear that someplace is a nice place to work and working mothers deserve all the breaks they can get. But . . . the topic is just crying out for satire. You’ll be happy to know that the Anonymous Lawyer has answered the call.

Last week PLBT ran a post in the WSJ Law Blog of an satirical internal memo written by Jeremy Blachman, the Anonymous Lawyer. Apparently, this was so popular that Ashby Jones, the WSJ Law Blogger, asked Blachman to write another. This one is about not being rated among the 50 best law firms on the Working Mother list.

Equally interesting, was Jones’ comment that he received a large number of formulaic press releases from many of the fifty firms who actually were named by Working Mother, begging for a mention. That kind of PR doesn’t get the attention of the WSJ Blog. You gotta have some imagination. (PS, law firms, that’s how you win hard cases, too.)

In case you missed last week’s internal memo, here’s the PLBT post with the link. Of course, you can read the Anonymous lawyer anytime through our blogroll. You know the drill. Look right, scroll down.
