$12 well drinks and $1 off of $15 appetizers. You could’ve stayed at home
for that. Or, you could’ve gone to RockSugar Pan Asian Kitchen’s
Rocktail Hour, which you definitely should do next time.
What’s so great about Rocktail Hour is that it doesn’t just give you the
lowly leftovers that nobody wants in the first place. Instead of uninventive
well drinks, you can choose from a variety of RockSugar’s signature
cocktails, ranging from the Tamarind Margarita muddled with tequila,
triple sec, tamarind and lime to our favorite, the Yuzu Cherry Gimlet, a
refreshingly sweet blend of vodka, yuzu, cherry and soda. And, the best
part: they’re only $5.
That’s not it. Appetizers like the popular Chicken and Mushroom Lettuce
Wraps are in the $3-$4.50 range. We simply can’t get enough of the Crispy
Chicken Samosas, and we really can’t get over the fact they’re only $3.
And to top it off, RockSugar’s décor is also as impressive as its Rocktail
Hour. Sitting in the serene front patio area, perched against colorful
pillows under the watchful gaze of the Buddha, you can’t help but to feel
relaxed and at peace.

counseling and 24% are offering personal counseling. Some are offering
internet seminars on interviewing skills and lunchtime strategy sessions
for out of work lawyers.
Law schools, too, need to do much more. Law schools need to explore
the possibility of suspending loan payments by students who have been
laid off. Law schools need to organize their alumni to provide assistance
to those who have lost their jobs. Career service offices in law schools
must make helping laid off graduates a top priority.
At the same time, the bar needs to be cognizant of the likely ethical
consequences of the economic downturn. The pressure on lawyers
to please clients is increased exponentially in the current economic
climate. The reality is that attorneys and law firms need desperately to
keep their clients. My sense, after over 30 years as a lawyer, is that a
very large percentage of serious ethical violations come when lawyers
go too far in their effort to please the client or get the results the client
wants.
There is no easy solution to these ethical pressures. But they will not go
away by being ignored. The former Chief Judge of the New York Court
of Appeals, Judith Kaye, asked me last year what our profession can do
to help the many lawyers who are out of work. I said honestly that I did
not know, but her question has haunted me ever since and every time I
get another call from a student who has lost his or her job. It is the key
question for the legal profession at this time.

How We Met
Cobie
Smulders
As sexy tomboy Robin Scherbatsky on the CBS hit sitcom
How I Met Your Mother, Cobie Smulders keeps
the laughs coming with her witty banter and sarcastic
comebacks. Off-set, Smulders is a bit softer in her
delivery, but the laughs are just the same. Arriving at our
shoot at the beautiful Hotel Erwin, a couple miles from
her Venice Beach home, Smulders is upbeat, grounded
and downright goofy.
