legal word of the day: TO
HANG OUT YOUR SHINGLE
ENG: to start a private practice
POL: rozpocząć prywatną praktykę (dosł. wywiesić tabliczkę)
(1) Although the economy appeared to be spiraling
down, I decided to hang out my shingle and
perform work as a solo practitioner.
(2) In 1984, Peggy Gilbert hung
out her shingle, and commenced the
private practice of law in a small office on Harlow Street in Bangor.
(3) After I hung out my
shingle and got a few cases, and started butting heads with the big firm
guys, I really came to dislike them.
(4) I was offered a chance to go with the only group
worthy to call itself a law firm, Smith
and Leary, but with characteristic ego, I decided to
hang out my shingle and practice on my own.
