Okay, here’s an issue we need to find and read. Above, you’ll find the cover of Action Comics #581, published way, way back in 1986 (back in the days when we here at Abnormal Use were regularly visiting comic book shops). The cover proclaims: “In this issue you will meet the Man of Steel’s Lawyer!” Who could it be? How do you suppose he was retained? When Superman appears in your office as a potential client, do you require a retainer? Are you obligated to ask his secret identity for the purposes of the conflicts check? Where do you send your bills? To the Hall of Justice? Or do you handle cases for Superman pro bono (suspecting that it will probably pay off later if he owes you one)?

Did you know that there is a rock band called The Plaintiffs? Back in 2011, we interviewed  Brian Dale Allen Strouse, the leader of the Philadelphia rock group, The Lawsuits. (You can find that interview here). We think these two bands should tour together.

Don’t forget! If you’re in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday, May 22, you can attend the “Food Truck Law” CLE planned by our editor, Jim Dedman. For more information on that (including instructions on how to register for the event, please see here.). Best part: The event will be held at a local brewery!

By the way, did you hear that GWB partner John T. Lay has been selected for inclusion in the South Carolina Super Lawyers Top 25 for 2014?  For more on that, see here.
