Conference on Bruce Springsteen and the American Lawyer Today at Widener

Try as I might, I could not find a tax angle to this, but as a long-time fan of the "Boss" I was drawn to this conference today at Widener:  The Lawyer as Poet Advocate: Bruce Springsteen and the American Lawyer:

Widener University invites you to reflect with us as we combine the great tradition of the American lawyer as poet advocate with the work of one of the most celebrated poet advocates of our time, Bruce Springsteen.

The American lawyer can draw much from the life and work of such poets. As the American lawyer encounters his world, like the poet, words are his only weapon, and his blade can cut only as deeply as the truth contained in those words. Also like the poet, the American lawyer is called to discern what is real and what matters, certainly for his client, but also in his own life and work. The American lawyer even can resemble that poet from Bruce Springsteen’s Jungleland who reaches "to make an honest stand" haunted by the fear that ultimately he may "wind up wounded, not even dead."
