Who said lawyers are boring?


A Canadian Law Firm First!

Yesterday afternoon at 1:30 p.m., a group made primarily of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP (Blakes) articling students, and a few partners, associates and staff, performed a Flash Mob dance at the Commerce Court food court to the song "I’ve Got a Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas!
A flash mob is defined by Wikipedia as "a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse." And that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 in downtown Toronto.
The 48 dancers have been practising for weeks! At first people didn’t know what to make of the sudden music and movement, but as more Blakes dancers put on their red baseball caps and joined in, people got into the spirit of the season and many onlookers started to dance too.
The Blakes articling students first performed their dance at the Firm’s office party in Toronto on December 2, 2010. It was such a success, they decided to spread the cheer and perform it for a second time in public.
"We just wanted to have some fun," said Kari Abrams, Director of Student Recruitment & Development at the law firm. "Everybody has been working so hard, it was really great to be part of something so creative and make people smile."
