Evan Schaeffer's Legal Underground

HAPPY HALLOWEEN . . . Although the youngest Schaeffer child, Sam, is no longer willing to serve as Legal Underground's annual Halloween mascot, I thought I'd reprise some of his past work in honor of the day--

• 2004, Sam age 0, dressed as as tiny lawyer;
• 2005, Sam age 1, dressed as pumpkin; and
• 2006, Sam age 2, dressed as a lion.

Thanks to Sam for being such a good sport, even if he wasn't quite aware that he was being a good sport. Meanwhile, for anyone who's wondering, this year he's a spider--one that talks non-stop!
