Question of the Week Taylor Swift's "blunt, powerful testimony" in her recent trial grabbed headlines and ultimately contributed to a favorable jury verdict. A Denver DJ had alleged that Swift fabricated an allegation that the DJ groped her and that cost him his job. He sought $3 million in damages. Swift's lawyer, Venable partner J. Douglas Baldridge, told Law.com that Taylor is not only a "principled person" but a great client. "She listens, she's a very quick study. ... She contributed to the defense." Baldridge says he encouraged Swift to share what she was honestly feeling, and her "unflinching, even antagonistic testimony" came from that "to brutally brilliant effect," Law.com said.

Featured answer: Posted by IPMama: "In my 40s and suffering under an abusive, sexist, alcoholic senior partner, who went so far as to listen in on my phone conversations, I took up taekwondo. It helped tremendously to imagine his face on every paddle I kicked and punched. The bonus was an incredible workout and training in self-defense. I finished with a first-degree black belt and a job change." |
