About 60 women lawyers and summer associates from Greenberg Traurig gathered at the Manhattan home of partner Judith O’Neill last night for a chocolate-tasting billed as a networking opportunity.

Leading the event was food writer Dina Cheney, who said this isn’t the first time she has held a chocolate-tasting for lawyers, the Am Law Daily reports. In fact, she has held four of them for law firms in recent months. “Lawyers are very analytical, so they love critiquing chocolate,” she explained to an Am Law reporter at the event.

The reporter’s sweet tooth was not satisfied. “Everyone was given a prosaic baggie containing six wrapped pieces of chocolate—rather puny in size, like the kind you find on pillows at hotels,” the story said. “Next time, we’ll bring a big bag of M&Ms.”
