This week, we noted that Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne will be portraying Paul Cravath—the namesake of Cravath, Swaine & Moore—in an upcoming movie about Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse’s battle over the patent for the lightbulb.

So this week, we’d like to ask you: Which actor would play you in the movie of your life in the law?

Featured answer:

Posted by ECS: “Yes, I have. Many times. I started with working from a home office one day a week in the ’80s. In the ’90s, I did ‘limited scope’ work for clients. In the late ’90s and early aughts, I began advocating for collaborative law, while doing mediated divorces for both clients, with full disclosures—and excellent results. I also began using Divorcenet to reach these clients back when the internet was new, which was also a great success. So, yes, and every one has worked and/or been adopted.”
