2002/02/01: "[P]ublishing and the law," Folio:
The Magazine for Magazine Management, February 1, 2002
"[D]o publishers have a legal leg to stand on when it comes to
saying no to a potential client? Can a publisher refuse any advertiser he wants
to?
"Generally, the courts have allowed magazines some leeway here, answers
Lawrence Savell, an attorney with Chadbourne & Parke LLP. For example,
publishers can avoid potential liability by rejecting ads that practice the
'bait-and-switch' method, that make competitive statements widely
acknowledged to be unfair or inaccurate, or that promote illegal or harmful
activities or substances. But a would-be advertiser may have a claim against
a magazine if a publisher's refusal to sell space breaches a prior agreement
or is found to be anticompetitive or discriminatory.
"To protect their legal interests, Savell suggests that publishers post a
notice in their magazines and media kits stating that the title reserves the
right to accept or reject ads at the staff's discretion. But most important,
he says, 'each publisher needs to decide for himself what is the most
appropriate course to follow here, given the magazine's (and possibly its
readers') viewpoints and preferences and its economic priorities and
realities.'”

"Another was determined to surprise his wife with a 40th
birthday present that would remind her of a time when she felt young,
adventurous and full of promise.
"The doting husband is a 44-year-old Manhattan lawyer named
Lawrence Savell. His wife, Cathy, dreamed of a 1966 Pontiac Catalina
convertible, which she had first talked wistfully about when the two were
dating. After searching high and low, Mr. Savell used the Internet to find the
exact same car his wife had driven as a high school senior in Massachusetts and
presented it to her, complete with the original 1966 license plates and a CD of
1960's songs he had made for her."

2002/06/11: "Larry Savell Goes
Back to School to Talk to Students About the Law," Chadbourne & Parke Firm
Forum, June 11, 2002, at 5
"Counsel Larry Savell recently completed his participation in the City
Bar Fund Junior High School Law-Related Education Project for the 2001-2002
school year. Sponsored by the New York City Board of Education, The
Association of the Bar of the City of New York, Legal Outreach, Inc. and the
Justice Resource Center, and initiated in 1998 by Chief Judge Judith Kaye,
this pro bono project brings volunteer judges and lawyers like Larry into
New York City junior high schools to discuss legal careers and legal issues
with the students. Larry has participated in this important educational
outreach project since 1999.
"During the current school year, Larry took the time to speak with
students at three city schools about the impact of the law on their daily
lives, as well as giving the students an overview of the legal system and a
sense of how one becomes — and what it is like to be — a lawyer. On February
5th, he spoke during four consecutive class periods to joint assemblies of
7th and 8th grade students at Shell Bank IS 14 in Brooklyn. Additionally, he
spoke to an 8th grade class and a 7th grade class at PS 104, also in
Brooklyn, on February 6th. Finally, on May 21st, Larry spoke to an 8th grade
class at P811M in Manhattan.
"While Larry prefers the single class sessions, which allow for greater
dialogue and rapport, he notes that the assemblies offer the advantage of
allowing more students to attend. But regardless of whether he has talked
with an individual class or an entire assembly, Larry has drawn rave reviews
for each of his school visits. Students and teachers alike appreciate his
informative and entertaining presentations, his role-playing activities
(including his 'Smith v. Yummy Chocolate Milk Co.' alleged softball hitting
detriment product liability case) and especially his ability to discuss
aspects of the legal system using analogies such as basketball fouls and
traffic lights that enable the students to relate the law and the policies
behind it to their own lives.
"Reprinted on page six is a letter from the City Bar Fund, thanking Larry
for his ongoing participation in the Junior High School Law-Related
Education Project. ¥

2002/12/19: "Just in time for the
holidays," LawSites (http://www.legaline.com/2002_12_15_lawsites_archive.html):
"Among the many e-mails I received from readers who saw my article on
Law.com was one from Lawrence Savell, counsel with New York's Chadbourne &
Parke, expressing disappointment over my failure to include legal-humor
sites. Savell operates an enjoyable site I somehow had never seen before,
LawHumor.com, featuring legal humor articles he has written over the
years. Better yet -- given the time of year -- Savell is producer of his own
holiday recording, The Lawyer's Holiday Humor Album. It features
songs sure to become law-office classics, such as 'Santa And I Are Gonna
Pull An All-Nighter On Christmas,' 'Let 'Em Sue' (parody of 'Let It Snow'),
and 'It's Gonna Be A Billable Christmas.' You can find his album at
LawTunes.com."
