You know, it's funny, because I was on the web during one of the first big controversies -- the "BABES OF THE WEB" flap, which this resembles slightly.
Mirror (Actually, I think that's an imitation -- he doesn't actually rate them, and they're actually his friends. But you get the idea.)
I think it is smart to include pictures along with bios, but if you are contemplating doing so, be aware that there is some controversy about the practice.
Some women lawyers worry that this can make them vulnerable to harassment, such as selection for the "Babes of the Web" catalog, or worse. It is conceivable that something like this could cause a problem, and I would give lawyers the right to “opt out” of having their picture displayed, but my sense is that this is not a major problem that should prevent you from personalizing your lawyers in this manner.
I loved that picture! It was the picture, in the midst of the staid legal biography that made it for me. It made me giggle. I grew to learn to pull it up at work when I needed a smile. It was funny alone, but in the context of the corporate attorney crapola, it was priceless.
Like a jewel, it needed to be seen in its setting, like a diamond in a seam of coal. Or a lump of coal in a jeweller's case? You decide. Screenshot. Told you I loved it.
