I had fun just now looking over the Northern Virginia Technology Council’s upcoming dog-and-pony show promoting the REAL ID Act. It’s a big business opportunity for Washington, D.C.-area technology vendors – nevermind that this national ID law is dying because of nationwide disapproval.
Why fun? Because clicking on the link to Gold Sponsor Wiley Rein LLP, I saw the promotional blurb below their Web banner: “‘Demonstrates a high-caliber command of privacy’ issues. – Computerworld” (It rotates through blurbs – you might have to hit reload once or twice to see it for yourself.)
You can’t promote REAL ID and claim a command of privacy issues. So which is it gonna be?
And what other promotional blurbs might go there? Let’s see ’em in the comments. A few to prime the pump, after the jump.
“Number one at putting practice-building ahead of principle” – Big Law Firm Digest
“With a growing government contracts practice like this, who needs the rest?” – Internal Memo
“The firm with a left hand and a right hand” – Organizational Management
[Special note for lawyers who might mistake embarassment for a cause of action: Be sure to do your research!]
