Welcome to Summer

     Memorial Day weekend is the traditional send off for summer fun. Our Lewis & Daggett family kicked it off with a firm cookout on Friday. Part of the fun was that the attorneys and management served the rest of the staff as a reward and treat.

      As summer begins, it is probably a good time to consider some basics safety tips in order to make summer the best it can be for you and your family. As schools winds down and many of us have family activities begin, we encourage you to keep safety in mind.

Civil Justice

     What does "civil justice" mean? To us at Lewis & Daggett it means that the folks we work for have a remedy when they are wrongfully injured, disabled or hurt at work. Civil Justice hasn’t always been a remedy, and many times for us it is still a constant fight.

     It American society, our legal system provides the rules and the structure so that we can operate in an orderly and safe fashion, and defines a framework for transacting business. But, as a society, we often fail to appreciate our legal and its relative newness and uniqueness in the world.

Law Day, Plus a Graduation

     Fifty years ago President Eisenhower established May 1 of every year as "Law Day." Law Day is a national day of recognition of the principal of government under law, as opposed to rule by individuals.

     Government under law is essential for a free society. We will discuss further next week how the law is the founding principle of our country. It is important for us to review our commitment to the ideals on which our country was founded in order for us to have liberty. This foundation is the basis of all opportunity and equity within our American society.

     This past week we also celebrated a law school graduat ...

Half Way

     Doesn't it always seem to feel really good to be half way done? Well, this past week at Lewis & Daggett we passed the half way mark with our 2008 Safe Sober Prom Night program.

     So far, so good. We have had no reports of prom night car accidents of other tragedies.

     Part of the fun of SSPN is our interaction with the students. So far this year we have reached approximately 10,128 juniors and seniors in the triad area, an increase ove ...

He was an All-American in both hockey and football, and was drafted as a quarterback and punter by the Patriots. He has taught high school and college, and has coached hockey and ...

Make It Personal

     What does making something personal mean to you? It seems that when we make something personal and take ownership, the opportunity or to make a difference increases.

     We see this with our Safe Sober Prom Night program. The long term success of this program is mostly due to our

Transforming Impact

     Have you considered whether you ever have a transforming impact on the lives of others? Perhaps one of the highest callings we can have is to have a transforming impact on another.

     Having a heart for others seems to be a prerequisite to having a transforming impact. This is where we are so proud of our L & D team. They are able to step out of their daily jobs in order to make a difference. They have a heart for students - I’ve seen it!

     Of course, our

18 Years!

     It’s finally here! This week the 2008 prom season begins. Our Lewis & Daggett team is excited for the 18^th year of our Safe Sober Prom Night Program.

     Mike Lewis and I founded SSPN in 1991. In what we do professionally we all too often see the destruction and tragedy done to children, families and individuals by drinking and driving. We believed that we were in a unique position in our community to address this issue, and so Safe Sober Prom Night wa ...
