Ardsley, New York May 30, 2006—Continuing its campaign to promote work/life balance for lawyers through humor, the Billable Hour Company has added two new regular contributors—cartoonist Stu Rees and cartoonist/author Bob Pladek—to The Timesheet, its free monthly e-newsletter.

Rees, an honors graduate of Harvard Law School, spends two-thirds of his time cartooning and devotes one-third to his law practice, in which he represents over 300 cartoonists. Pladek, who will be contributing his comic, Juris (which is drawn by German graphic artist Reinhard Calieb) as well as humorous articles (in a column aptly entitled "Oddservations"), is a “recovering lawyer,” Special Sections Editor for New Jersey Lawyer and folk singer. Rees’ website is at www.Stus.com; Pladek’s is at www.JurisComic.com.

“The response that we’ve received from our readers has been so gratifying,” says Billable Hour partner Lisa Solomon. “We are very excited to introduce them to the finest legal humorists we know.” “We’ve tapped into a growing audience of attorneys and other legal professionals who appreciate a humorous and sometimes irreverent take on their careers,” adds partner Mark Solomon.

Rees and Pladek join legal humorists Sean Carter and James Rose and work/life balance columnist Cheryl Stephens at The Timesheet.

Says the irrepressible Rees, “I’m excited to be part of The Timesheet, but even more excited that I no longer have to fill out timesheets.” Pladek, not to be outdone, observed: “They asked for a pithy comment. I asked if everyone at Billable Hour had a lisp.”

Lawyers, law students and legal professionals who would like to receive The Timesheet via e-mail or RSS can subscribe by visiting www.TheBillableHour.com.
