You Can't Tell the Players...

In the late 1990’s I did some expert witness testimony consulting on a pollution case and its pending trial.  I was retained through the huge Philadelphia law firm of Morgan, Lewis and Bockius.  During a break in one of my meetings with the attorney who was prepping me (oh excuse me, I meant: soliciting my independent opinion on who caused the contamination), he mentioned that the firm would soon be changing their website address from www.mlb.com to www.morganlewis.com.   Now why in the world would a powerful, prestigious law firm go through the trouble of changing the on-line identity they had been using successfully for years?

Right you are, King Friday. The law firm was fortunate to have the web address that Major League Baseball wanted badly. Can you imagine negotiating with a firm that had 300 attorneys! Hey, wasn't that about the time that ticket prices jumped 50%??
