STEVE STEIN STAFF WRITER Vilfhoever wins this "case" will not get an opportu- nity to appeal, so the pressure is on. Memos are flying. Notices and posters are being tacked on bul- letin boards. Motivational poems are being written and distributed. People are being button-holed in the halls. What's causing the commotion at two of the Detroit area's biggest law firms? They're once again staging their own competition to see who can raise the most mon- ey for the United Cerebral Palsy's (UCP) Casual Day fund-raiser. To take part in Casual Day, businesses sign up with UCP, then allow their employees who make a voluntary contribution of at least $5 to come to work in ca- sual clothes. The third annual Casual Day is slated for June 17. That's the day the lawyers and staff at Butzel Long and at Sommers, Schwartz, Silver and Schwartz are waiting for. Last year, the first time they competed, Butzel Long raised $1,843.50 and Sommers Schwartz came up with $1,412. Each firm had a participation rate of more than 85 percent. Casual Day "police" at Sommers Schwartz made sure those dressing casu- ally did make their contribution to UCP. Butzel Long, with offices in De- troit, Birmingham, Grosse Pointe, Lansing and Ann Arbor, has ap- proximately 350 employees. Som- mers Schwartz, located in Southfield, has just under 200 employees. 'We won, but I think an inde- pendent accounting firm should verify those results," joked Josh Sherbin, an associate at Butzel Long. "Our competition demon- strates, at least to ourselves, that lawyers do have a lighter side," said Mr. Sherbin, who first found out about Casual Day and got involved through co-worker Mark Lezotte, a UCP board mem- ber. Casual Day participation throughout the area has grown substantially each year. A spokeswoman at UCP's Metro- politan Detroit affiliate in Southfield says the first Casual Day saw 104 companies in Oak- land, Macomb and Wayne coun- ties bring in approximately $27,000. Last year, 140 local companies raised more than $57,000. Na- tionally, the figure climbed over the $2 million mark. More than 200 companies in the tri-county area should be on board this year and there are hopes of topping the $100,000 mark. "Cast's] Day is a lot of fun," Mr. Sherbin said. "I think it's gotten so popular because it takes very little effort to get involved. It's your classic fund-raiser on a shoe- string." Bob Schwartz, a partner at Sommers Schwartz, also thinks he knows why Casual Day par- ticipation has grown: "You don't have to walk 20 miles to raise money," he said. "And how can
