      <title>MCLE ThisWeek | S2 E13: From Law School to Fenway: Sports Law Careers with Mandy Petrillo and Cameron Hammel of Fenway Sports Group</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Mandy and Cameron break down what it actually takes to build a career in sports law and why there is no single path in. Mandy highlights the role of persistence, networking, and starting in a non-attorney position, while Cameron shares how a traditional law firm path and a strategic in-house pivot led her to Fenway Sports Group. They also challenge common misconceptions about the field, explaining that their work focuses on commercial contracts, sponsorships, intellectual property, and business operations rather than player deals, and closely mirrors a traditional in-house legal role.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With practical insight for attorneys and law students, Mandy and Cameron discuss:</p>
<ul>
 <li>Why there is no single “right” path into sports law — and how different experiences can position you to stand out</li>
 <li>How networking, persistence, and timing play a critical role in breaking into competitive industries</li>
 <li>Why strong contract drafting skills and broad legal experience are essential for in-house roles</li>
 <li>Why business judgment and a “find a way to yes” approach lead to stronger client relationships</li>
 <li>Why sports lawyers are often generalists who must navigate multiple areas of law simultaneously</li>
 <li>How building trust with internal stakeholders leads to better, more proactive legal support</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>They reflect on the evolving landscape of women in sports law, highlighting increased representation and leadership in recent years, as well as the collaborative nature of in-house work. Legal teams work closely with marketing, sales, HR, and operations to support broader business goals. Ultimately, Mandy and Cameron emphasize that success depends on being a well-rounded, business-savvy lawyer who can adapt, solve problems, and contribute beyond purely legal analysis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Featured Guests</strong></p>
<p>Mandy Petrillo — Assistant General Counsel at Fenway Sports Group, Mandy has spent nearly two decades with the organization, supporting the Boston Red Sox and related entities across a wide range of commercial, intellectual property, and business matters.</p>
<p>Cameron Hammel — Senior Counsel at Fenway Sports Group, Cameron brings experience from both a major law firm and in-house entertainment company, advising on commercial contracts, technology agreements, and business operations within the organization.</p>

      <title>MCLE ThisWeek | S2 E12: The Art of Objections and the Business of Law with Mike Sams of Bowditch &amp; Dewey</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Mike shares how his firm’s transition to Bowditch & Dewey marked a strategic shift toward greater depth, stability, and long-term growth. He reflects on the realities of law firm mergers, the importance of cultural fit, and why thoughtful, deliberate decision-making matters when navigating professional change. At the same time, he explores what it truly takes to master trial advocacy — not just knowing the rules of evidence but developing the judgment to use them effectively in real time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With practical insight and courtroom perspective, Mike discusses:</p>
<ul>
 <li>Why choosing the right professional “fit” matters more than chasing greener grass</li>
 <li>How expanded resources and stability strengthen both lawyers and clients</li>
 <li>Why objections require judgment — not just knowledge of the rules</li>
 <li>When restraint in the courtroom is more powerful than constant objection</li>
 <li>How experiential learning builds real courtroom confidence and much more</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Mike emphasizes that becoming a strong trial lawyer is an iterative process — one that requires repetition, reflection, and real courtroom experience. He underscores that continuing legal education is not simply a requirement, but a professional obligation and opportunity to refine craft, build community, and elevate standards across the bar.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Featured Guest</strong></p>
<p><strong>Mike Sams</strong> — Litigation Practice Area Co-Leader at Bowditch & Dewey, Mike is a seasoned trial lawyer and business litigator serving companies throughout New England. He represents clients in complex construction and business disputes before state and federal courts and arbitration forums.

      <title>MCLE ThisWeek | S2 E11: Client Experience as a Growth Strategy: Turning Every Client Interaction into a Referral and Reputation Builder with Chris Earley</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Chris shares how the pandemic prompted a fundamental shift in how he viewed his role as a lawyer — from focusing primarily on results to becoming deeply intentional about <strong>how clients feel at every stage of representation</strong>. He explains why client service begins at intake, long before a fee agreement is signed, and why firms that ignore the client experience do so at their own risk.</p><p> </p><p>With honesty, humor, and concrete examples, Chris discusses:</p><ul><li>Why <strong>client experience starts at the first phone call</strong> — and how tone, empathy, and responsiveness shape trust</li><li>How <strong>over-communication beats silence</strong>, even when there are no case updates</li><li>Using <strong>client portals, automation, and surveys</strong> to improve communication without increasing attorney workload</li><li>Turning clients into <strong>“raving fans”</strong> who drive referrals long after a case ends</li><li>Why unhappy clients rarely complain directly — but always remember poor communication</li><li>How <strong>brutal honesty</strong>, delivered with care, strengthens client relationships</li><li>The parallels between law firms and <strong>service businesses like restaurants and Amazon</strong></li><li>How improving client experience benefits not only clients, but also <strong>staff morale and firm culture</strong></li></ul><p> </p><p>Chris emphasizes that most of the most impactful improvements to client experience are <strong>low-cost or free</strong>, requiring intention rather than technology — and that firms who prioritize service see fewer bar complaints, better reviews, and stronger reputations over time.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Featured Guest</strong></p><p><strong>Chris Earley</strong>, Esq. — Boston personal injury attorney and firm owner with nearly 20 years of experience. Chris focuses on client-centered practice design, communication systems, and building law firms that grow through trust, service, and referrals.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Links and Resources:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.mcle.org/onlinepass/landing">MCLE Online Pass</a></p><p><a href="https://www.chrisearley.com/">Earley Law Group Injury Lawyers</a></p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris shares how the pandemic prompted a fundamental shift in how he viewed his role as a lawyer — from focusing primarily on results to becoming deeply intentional about <strong>how clients feel at every stage of representation</strong>. He explains why client service begins at intake, long before a fee agreement is signed, and why firms that ignore the client experience do so at their own risk.</p><p> </p><p>With honesty, humor, and concrete examples, Chris discusses:</p><ul><li>Why <strong>client experience starts at the first phone call</strong> — and how tone, empathy, and responsiveness shape trust</li><li>How <strong>over-communication beats silence</strong>, even when there are no case updates</li><li>Using <strong>client portals, automation, and surveys</strong> to improve communication without increasing attorney workload</li><li>Turning clients into <strong>“raving fans”</strong> who drive referrals long after a case ends</li><li>Why unhappy clients rarely complain directly — but always remember poor communication</li><li>How <strong>brutal honesty</strong>, delivered with care, strengthens client relationships</li><li>The parallels between law firms and <strong>service businesses like restaurants and Amazon</strong></li><li>How improving client experience benefits not only clients, but also <strong>staff morale and firm culture</strong></li></ul><p> </p><p>Chris emphasizes that most of the most impactful improvements to client experience are <strong>low-cost or free</strong>, requiring intention rather than technology — and that firms who prioritize service see fewer bar complaints, better reviews, and stronger reputations over time.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Featured Guest</strong></p><p><strong>Chris Earley</strong>, Esq. — Boston personal injury attorney and firm owner with nearly 20 years of experience. Chris focuses on client-centered practice design, communication systems, and building law firms that grow through trust, service, and referrals.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Links and Resources:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.mcle.org/onlinepass/landing">MCLE Online Pass</a></p><p><a href="https://www.chrisearley.com/">Earley Law Group Injury Lawyers</a></p>

      <itunes:summary>In June 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Counterman v. Colorado, overturning a stalking conviction based on hundreds of Facebook messages sent to a local female musician. The Court found that Colorado’s stalking statute, which used an objective standard for threatening communications, violated constitutional free speech protections. It held that the government must prove the defendant’s subjective intent to threaten, requiring at least a reckless mental state for a criminal conviction based on speech. The decision marked a significant shift in the law surrounding “true threats,” an exception to First Amendment protections.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Understanding drug and alcohol testing is crucial in legal practice. Properly interpreting results and knowing when to consult an expert can impact cases in criminal, juvenile, child custody, and probation hearings. Allegations of substance misuse may lack scientific support, requiring a thorough understanding of testing methods—both screening and confirmatory—and their potential ambiguities, especially with opiates and amphetamines. While tests for ethyl alcohol can be more straightforward, interpreting these results demands knowledge of ethanol pharmacokinetics and testing limitations. Accurate interpretation often requires detailed lab reports and medical records, as even weighing suspected drug samples can be complex.</itunes:summary>

Mr. DePalo was published in both legal and scientific journals. Most recently, he coauthored the Massachusetts law chapter in the <i>Claims Professional Desk Reference</i> manual published by the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel. He previously served as a Judicial Fellow for Superior Court Associate Justice Dennis J. Curran. During this time, Mr. DePalo gained unparalleled access to dozens of juries after they rendered their verdicts as part of a research project analyzing jury education levels, the effectiveness of early judicial intervention, and presumptive mediation in civil cases.

During her twenty-three year legal career, Ms. Juárez has worked in the public and private sectors as a litigator, trying numerous Superior Court and District Court civil and criminal jury trials as lead counsel. She was an assistant district attorney in the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office for five years, where she handled District and Superior Court criminal cases. For two years, she was counsel to the City of Boston Employment Commission, where she drafted, negotiated, and reviewed all development contracts on commercial construction projects on behalf of the Commission, ensuring compliance with city residency requirements. Ms. Juárez also ran her own law practice for several years, handling real estate transactions, G.L. c. 208, § 1A and 1B divorce actions, and general civil litigation. As an attorney for the Department of Correction, Ms. Juárez represented employees in civil litigation in state and federal court, handled G.L. c. 123A, § 9 sexually dangerous persons civil jury trials in Superior Court, and represented the Commonwealth in appeals of trials, including writing appellate briefs and oral arguments before the Appeals Court.
