Like all young, vibrant, kooky characters of this kind she's there as
much to shake Marlo's character up for the screenwriter as to provide
practical babyminding

There are many, obvious, challenges here — among them role definition (and expressing this clearly in a retainer agreement), skills - building, marketing (the public that rarely connects the legal profession with this type of
practical, focused
assistance in achieving their goals) and
much more.
