He's a rebel

Interesting insights into the indefensible Feige, one from the realm of law, one from left field.

From Law and More: You Gotta Lawyer For You

David Feige put together a book about loving what you do, even if that passion doesn't make sense to others or earn a king's ransom... (T)he legal system, as fascinating as it is, is just a prop for Feige to give his take on everything...

But Feige does learn something. It happens early in his career. He is craving atta boys from everyone be they clients or superiors. The hard-bitten Paula Deutsch, the rare public defender who doesn't burn out, gives it to him between the eyes. "You gotta lawyer for you," she tells the kid. And that probably is the theme of the book...

From Jane Genova Speechwriter - Ghostwriter: Our Defiant Streak - Marketing It For Big Bucks

David Feige, former Public Defender in the Bronx, has joined the growing number of us... who are able to market our defiant streak for success, on our terms. He tells us all about it in his recent book "Indefensible..."

But, of course, we have to position and package our defiant streak so that the pockets which can pay for it will buy it. Face it, the business media (WIRED, FORBES, FORTUNE) can champion the New Barbarians but the business-media folks aren't the gatekeepers we gotta reassure to let us in...

"Branding"? For public defender types (even if they're honorary p.d.'s)? What a world (and what are these 'big bucks' of which you speak?).
