For all of the lawyer jokes floating about, there was a wonderful counterpoint in the Wall Street Journal recently. http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009952 A slightly different type of lawyer than the ones you'd be able to meet at this event, but...... lawyers aren't all bad! Great idea.
