Although his client list today may have some of the biggest names in business instead of showbiz, Douglas Colt still has a special fascination with celebrities. As he explains in his blog (http://dougcolt.blogspot.com), “I have to admit that I’m a big fan of the celebrity gossip rags that are out there, at least the ones that take the cynical, jaded, and oftentimes vicious perspective on so-called “celebrities.”

There are a lot of law students who excelled during their college years but have difficulty in law school because of poor penmanship or being unable to express their opinions in public or in a courtroom. A lawyer should be fluent in English in a courtroom, and should be able to receive constructive criticism. These also mean that you must have a wide knowledge on basic laws. Lawyers generally have backgrounds in English, Philosophy, Ethics, Logic, Political Science, Economics, Public Speaking and Foreign Languages.
