What was your major in college?
I double majored in music and philosophy.
Where did you attend law school? What did you like most about that location?
I attended law school in New York City. I loved being able to walk or take the subway anywhere, and to make a grocery run or have food delivered at any time of day. As a fan of classical music and musical theater, I also benefited from the incredible opportunity to go to world-class opera, orchestra, and Broadway performances.
Favorite TV show involving a lawyer?
Arrested Development. Definitely more of a lesson in what not to do...
What’s the first food booth you visit on a trip to the state fair?
Cheese curds, of course.
DAVE MOREHOUSE
Three topics you are most likely to blog about at some point?

(2) What we all might learn from Indiana Jones (or other sources that entrepreneurs might not readily embrace)
(3) Enlightened self interest
Three topics you are least likely to blog about at some point?
(1) Celebrities and their public meltdowns
(2) Intricate details of arcane provisions of the tax code (I have partners for that!)
(3) How to make a humongous fortune (if I knew, I might already have done it)
Favorite TV show involving a lawyer?
Rumpole of the Bailey (Masterpiece, PBS). Otherwise, I tend to avoid law-oriented shows. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Favorite movie that doesn’t involve a lawyer?
How the West Was Won—It may not be particularly accurate historically, but it captures the American impulse to create, to build, and to improve. Plus, it has an awesome score.
Famous person (dead or alive) with whom you’d most like to have dinner?
Winston Churchill or Franklin Roosevelt—it’s a toss-up. If those guys are busy that night, William the Conqueror. I’d have a drink with Jimmy Page.
It’s your last meal...what’s on the menu?
A reprieve?

Favorite TV show involving a lawyer?
LA Law—I was a newer attorney when the show started, and I appreciated that it wasn’t particularly realistic, at least with respect to MN Law. I didn’t watch it so much in the later years, but admit that I loved the episode where the nasty managing partner stepped into the elevator that wasn’t there. It still makes me smile. I am also a sucker for the old black and white Perry Mason episodes (not the later made-for-TV movies).
If you had it to do all over again, what would you study now?
Archeology or museum administration
Famous person (dead or alive) with whom you’d most like to have dinner?
Lee Harvey Oswald—I really want to know!
It’s your last meal...what’s on the menu?
Blutwurst and grit—an old German recipe that died with my aunt (it’s not as gross as it sounds)
