Week 5 EOC; Lawyers Looking For Fame


     Looking to find a lawyer who thinks he’s more important then the case was something I didn’t want to do, I wanted to find something different, but still related to this topic. I stumbled upon this news article and when I read it, I knew I had my topic.

     “The young lawyer wanted to be taken seriously and make a name for himself, but he had a problem: His name is Justin Bieber. "I started getting 50 to 60 friend requests a week on Facebook," the 32-year-old—he's twice the age of the omnipresent pop star—tells the Philadelphia Inquirer, "and all of these messages that said, 'I love you' or 'I love it when you sing.'"
     Rather than drop his first name, Justin Bieber, Esq., uses his full name, Justin Matte Bieber. He even started advertising. "I've gotten several phone calls each week since the ads came out, and I've already picked up a few clients," he reports. It's not a bad strategy, says a marketing professor. "Many people do not know the name of a lawyer, so to have a name like his come to mind so quickly could potentially be very helpful." http://www.newser.com/story/93189/meet-justin-bieber-the-lawyer.html

     This man wasn’t looking for fame, but he found it once everyone knew his name. The only thing I hope doesn’t happen to this man is he starts getting full of himself because of his name and abusing his powers. As long as he maintains a good personality and doesn’t become a complete butthead, I think this accidental fame will work out well for Justin M. Bieber.
