Stella Blue

Chief of Happiness & Director of Cuddles

Admitted to the Bark Association

Stella serves as the firm’s Chief of Happiness and Director of Cuddles, where she is responsible for maintaining workplace morale, enforcing the firm’s mandatory scratch policy, and ensuring that no attorney goes an entire workday without smiling at least once.

A golden retriever with an exceptional commitment to client comfort and snack acquisition, Stella conducts regular supervisory rounds throughout the office. These visits typically involve stopping by desks and cubicles to check on staff productivity, request scratches behind the ears, and quietly judge whether anyone nearby is eating something she should also be eating.

In addition to her internal supervisory role, Stella is heavily involved in client relations. She greets visitors with enthusiasm, provides calming support during stressful days, and has been credited with successfully resolving numerous tense conference room moments simply by walking in and wagging her tail. While she does not formally participate in litigation strategy, she has demonstrated a remarkable ability to detect when someone has opened a snack from three offices away.

Despite her many professional accomplishments, Stella has occasionally found herself the subject of internal disciplinary review for her involvement in Dumpster Diving Discovery, an unsanctioned investigative practice involving the thorough inspection of office trash cans. She maintains that all trash receptacles fall within the scope of discoverable materials and continues to pursue this investigative method with unwavering dedication.

When she is not conducting office rounds, Stella can usually be found monitoring hallway activity, strategically positioning herself near the break room, or taking a well-earned nap after a demanding morning of morale management and cuddle enforcement.
