As tens of thousands of Michael Jackson fans poured into downtown Los Angeles' Staples Center for the King of Pop's memorial service on July 7, attorneys who work in offices just blocks from the star-studded event opted to stay home.
Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges has about 150 lawyers in its downtown office. The building, at 865 South Figueroa Street, had a fence around it and the entry and exit were tightly controlled as the memorial transpired, according to name partner William Urquhart. He and many others thought discretion the better part of valor and decided to work from home.
