Boston law firm Choate Hall & Stewart has a number of cool recruiting videos here. The videos are derivative of the Mac v. PC commercials
(do lawyers do anything that isn't derivative?) but are short enough to keep your attention, and are well made. From Ben Glass' website is a link to this video on tort reform from the
plaintiffs' bar perspective. Ben himself has several YouTube marketing videos like this one.?alt=rss

Here's an article from Boston.com/Monster about a law firm, Choate Hall & Stewart, that came up with an interesting way to market their
family friend law firm culture. They posted a video at their website which you can see here (see right-hand side under "choate culture") in
