How to Pursue a Career as a Lawyer in the Entertainment Business By Laurie N. Robinson (Senior Vice President & Assistant General Counsel CBS Corporation)
Tuesday July 13, 2010 PM
I knew as early as the tenth grade that I wanted to be a lawyer! My father was a labor lawyer. He worked for the National Labor Relations Board in Washington, D.C. and later in his career he had his own law practice. I remember typing some of his legal briefs and letters on my little word processor.
However, my decision to go to law school had little to do with Dad… it was based on my best frie... Read more...

One of the highlights was working on my spec with mentors Pame... Read more...
No Man Is An Island, Entire of Itself By Laurie N. Robinson Senior Vice President & Assistant General Counsel, CBS Corporation
Thursday May 06, 2010 PM
When I was a child growing up in the 1970s, I remember taking trips with my father to the neighborhood grocery store. I have a vivid memory of our walking through each and every row with our basket. He would talk to everyone at the store from the cashier to the workers in the bakery section.
He never left the house without his business cards. And when we would walk through our neighborhood, he ... Read more...
