Doty, Dvorak and Hanbury on WDAM

Date: May 24, 2004

Was H'burg running a shortage of attorneys? But it will be interesting to see how they are received by the nebulous and misguided counsel. Wonder if they'll be invited to join Zeus?

Well, Mr. Dvorak did say they would be a "service oriented" law firm. Does that mean they'll end up with a lot of pro bono work?

It's criminal for WDAM to give them that kind of coverage--in what sense is this "news"? If I start a tractor company are they going to give me 4 minutes on the nightly news? Someone ought to complain to the stupid WDAM "news director" for heaven's sake.

But I'm sure Shelby will make certain they have plenty of business, that's what business is all about, at least as it's practiced around here--making sure your pals get plenty of money from people you influence or control.

It's disgusts me.

Looks like Mader fixed all of what she and Shebby call the malcontents. They are pi$$ed over the news! Seems that the publicity was interesting.

And Truth4USm and others thought Lisa was harmless!

I wouldn't stress too much about this. After the rush of publicity they have to sink or swim like everybody else out there. Somebody suggested they do some pro bono work, and that would be a fine thing for them to do, to show their genuine affection for the community. They were newsworthy because of their connection with USM, but now they have to actually practice law, and we should move on to other things.

I agree. If either one of these guys were adept at the law, you wouldn't have seen them relocate to accept table scraps from Mr. Thames. Now let's see how well they fare on their own.

I guess I'm not up on my Hanbury-Dvorak history, but didn't someone post on an earlier thread that these guys were law partners in Kentucky? If that's correct, did they summarily dissolve that practice in order to move to Hattiesburg, and accept the Risk Manager and HR positions at USM? I realize, as I pose the question, that this matter likely has nothing to do with anything, now that they're gone from USM, but theirs does seem to be a somewhat tortuous career path. If the KY practice was "successful," it's hard to imagine their leaving it behind (at their ages) in order to accept extra-legal positions in Hattiesburg.

I never said that...get your facts straight.

Full steam ahead? That might mean something if Doty had people with an educational and/or practical background with which to teach casino management classes. Who's he trying to kid? I suppose the answer is everyone.

Since he knows everything and never makes a mistake, maybe Doty's going to do it all himself.

This tidbit barely rises above the level of base gossip, but you may find it amusing. My wife and I spent a long weekend in Biloxi last month. While there, I struck up a conversation with an employee of the Beau Rivage casino, who was very excited about the new USM casino and gaming program, because....drum roll....many of the casino employees were hopeful that they'd be able to secure adjunct faculty positions at USM-GC. Apparently, according to him, some individual associated with USM had made inquiries at the larger casinos concerning the "credentials" of their management personnel, and suggested that there might be employment opportunities forthcoming, as adjunct instructors, for those who possessed college degrees. Huh ?

Ken Malone will have a big say-so over this program. See Austin Eagle's post above. Looks like Kenbot is already recruiting faculty in his usual way.
