<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">Summer. The time when we try to break away from our usual grind. We take vacations, spend more time outdoors, and do our best to unwind. These activities often include the company of a good book (or two).
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">Whether you’re looking for a thriller, a self-help guide, or something along the lines of professional development, here are some ideas to help you find the perfect read.</p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">

Loeb & Herman S.C.</h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;">If you’ve been interested in successful strategies for resolving conflict in divorce proceedings, you may have crossed paths with Gregg Herman. Gregg is currently presenting a series of webcasts for PINNACLE<sup style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 0; ">®</sup> about topics of relevance to family law attorneys. He took a moment to answer questions about speaking for CLE programs, including managing deadlines and pet peeves.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;"><strong>Why did you decide to speak for PINNACLE? </strong> <br />
Besides just enjoying speaking, the opportunity to partner with PINNACLE for the <em><a href="
http://marketplace.wisbar.org/pages/eventproductsearch.aspx?k=hflws&ActiveTab=2">Herman on Family Law Webcast Series</a></em> was too good to pass up. We hope to develop a library of family law materials – some on basic topics, but also some cutting edge and even controversial topics, which are not typically part of CLE programs. </p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;"><strong>Do you remember a particular speaker that inspired you? </strong> <br />
As a young prosecutor, I was fascinated with the evidence seminars by <a href="
http://www.nytimes.com/1988/03/15/obituaries/irving-younger-lawyer-55-dies-judge-law-professor-and-author.html">Judge Irving Younger</a>. His ability to take a complex topic and make it simple, understandable, and entertaining remains with me years and years later. <a href="
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONwjWJTfYpk">Some of his lectures are still available on YouTube</a>. </p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;"><strong>What are some of the pet peeves you have when speaking? How do you manage them?</strong> <br />When I’m one of a number of speakers and the moderator lets a prior speaker go over time. Since the program needs to end on time, all subsequent speakers need to cut their talks short.
</p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;">To manage this, when I’m a “later” speaker on a program, I plan ahead of time for parts which can be abbreviated.
</p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;"><strong>How do you manage deadlines and priorities? </strong> <br />
Do the least tasteful task first to get it out of the way!
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;">A judge asked me recently how long I would need for a post-trial brief. I responded, “No more than 48 hours.” When the judge told me that he was going to give me 30 days, I responded that I hated to write briefs, so if he gave me 30 days, I would ignore it for 28 days and do it in the last 48 hours, so we might as well just start with the 48 hours.
</p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;"><strong>How can an audience get the most out of a presentation? </strong> <br />Ask questions! It helps the speaker know what the audience thinks is important and the speaker can expand or clarify an issue.
</p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px;"><strong>Do you have any advice for lawyers who want to speak at CLE programs? </strong> <br />
Do it! It’s fun, and you will learn more by preparing for the speech than any speech you have attended.

<h3 style="color: #045394; margin-bottom: 7px;">Go Beyond Basic – Update Your WisBar Profile</h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><img src="
http://images.wisbar.org/Images/DigestEmails/myProfile_250w.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="200" align="right"/>There is something to be said for the simple things in life. However, most of us can think of times in our lives when “less” did not turn out to be “more” – like when you asked for a raise, tried to hide that thinning hair with a comb over, or finished off a bag of your favorite potato chips.
</p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">The same holds true for your online WisBar profile. When a fellow attorney needs to refer a case, they can use WisBar <a href="
http://www.wisbar.org/Pages/BasicLawyerSearch.aspx">Lawyer Search</a> to find practitioners by city, county, language, keywords, etc. If you don’t update your online profile, only the basic information required by the Wisconsin Supreme Court and State Bar bylaws will be displayed, including: </p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><li>Name and member number
</li><li>Business address and county
</li><li>Business phone number
</li><li>Email address
</li><li>Law school and graduation year
</li><li>State Bar of Wisconsin admission date
</li><li>License status and member type</li></ul>
</p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">By taking advantage of the full profile options available on your<a href="
https://www.wisbar.org/ProfilePage/Pages/myProfile.aspx"> <em>my</em>Profile</a> page, you can highlight more about yourself and your practice – information that could mean the difference between getting the referral and getting overlooked, such as:</p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><li>Additional languages spoken
</li><li>Courts of admittance
</li><li>Other states in which you are licensed to practice
</li><li>LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter URLs
</li><li>Links to your blog and other websites
</li><li>A brief biography and photo</li></ul>

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">Log in to <em><a href="
https://www.wisbar.org/ProfilePage/Pages/myProfile.aspx">my</a></em><a href="
