\"\"<\/a>. . . . \"\"<\/a> Confession<\/em><\/strong>: The f\/k\/a<\/em> Gang found and quickly read Brian Tracey’s essay “Eat that Frog: Stop Procrastination<\/a><\/em>” this morning, but it didn’t work. Instead of getting down to finishing an important legal ethics essay, we’ve compiled this little fluff piece [which has become the most visited posting in the history of our weblog] for the throngs of Google searchers trying to find the irresistible “Wendy Savage”.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\" A<\/em><\/strong>ccording to f\/k\/a<\/em>‘s statistics page, a lot<\/em> of people across the nation have been looking for “Wendy Savage” over the past several weeks. Today, however, the number of referrals to this weblog from Google searches for Ms. Savage mushroomed (with more than a thousand visitors as of 4 PM, and at least 2500 by midnight), thanks to the Boston Globe<\/em> article “Calendar is Exhibit A in case for beautiful lawyers<\/a>” (Oct. 23, 2008). The article includes a photo gallery<\/a> with 13 pictures from the Beautiful Lawyers Calendar<\/a><\/em>. (And see “Big-Firm Lawyers Posed for Hottie Calendar<\/a>“, ABAJournal News<\/em>, Oct. 23, 2008).<\/p>\n

The Google searchers have been arriving at our site due to this post<\/a> and that one<\/a> about the Beautiful Lawyers Calendar<\/a>, which contains photos of six men and six women who practice law in the Boston area. One of the calendar models is Wendy Savage, the very lovely in-house counsel for Liberty Mutual in Boston, who graduated from Boston University Law School<\/a> in 2006. I’m fairly certain Counselor Savage is the person most querists are seeking when they put the name in their Google box. So, I’m going to give you a little more information about her, which I found in the Boston Edition of Exhibit A<\/em> (“Beautiful Lawyers (Seriously)<\/a>,” October 7, 2008).<\/p>\n

However<\/em>, we’ve discovered there are a lot of other <\/em>interesting women named Wendy Savage, and we’re going to tell you a bit about some of them, too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> Wendy Savage, Esq: I<\/em><\/strong>t’s just a gut feeling, but I’m betting this photo<\/a> at the Globe<\/em> website is what has so many people Googling some variation of \/Wendy Savage lawyer<\/a>\/. [WCVB\/BostonChannel.com<\/em> had the photo on September 29, 2008, in a slide show<\/a>.] The Boston Globe<\/em> tells us that Wendy Savage will be featured in March 2008 on the Beautiful Lawyers Calendar. The blurb accompanying the photo says:<\/p>\n

Wendy, a corporate counsel for Liberty Mutual, lists fashion photography and equestrian sports among her hobbies. One day, she hopes to work as a legal correspondent in the fashion or entertainment industries.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For those who need to know more about the Liberty Mutual lawyer, here’s information (probably culled from the Calendar) presented earlier this month at Exhibit A<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n

WENDY SAVAGE<\/p>\n

Job: In-house lawyer, Liberty Mutual Insurance Co., Boston<\/p>\n

Age: 28<\/p>\n

Personal status: \u201cMy fianc\u00e9 proposed to me and took me to Paris as a surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before she became a lawyer, Wendy Savage dreamed of a career in modeling. But when she was told that, at 5-foot-7, she was too short to make it big, she went to law school instead.<\/p>\n

Today, the in-house lawyer at Liberty Mutual plans to develop a specialty in entertainment law.<\/p>\n

While Savage has done some modeling on the side over the years, her calendar cover shot is her highest-profile work to date. \u201cIt\u2019s a group of diverse lawyers where I don\u2019t think the focus is on physical attractiveness, but rather the person as a whole,\u201d Savage says of her decision to participate in the project.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> Prof. Yabut<\/a> wonders if the young attorney had any idea her participation in the beautiful lawyers calendar would bring so much attention — and whether it’s the kind of attention she anticipated. Maybe she’ll grant an interview soon so we can learn more about “the person as a whole.”<\/p>\n
