* This week we crowned America’s hottest law school deans: Evan Caminker, of Michigan, and Asha Rangappa, of Yale. When contacted by ATL, both of them issued gracious statements.

* So there’s no contest for you to vote in over the weekend. But please participate in our informal reader poll, seeking to ascertain your Favorite Supreme Court Justice.

* Speaking of the justices, don’t they have more important things to fight over than grammar? And who knew that bright-line Nino could be so nuanced?

* A theme for this past week: Celebrities’ legal woes. E.g., Michael Jackson, Lindsay Lohan, Wesley Snipes, Madonna, and Anna Nicole Smith.

* Another theme: Getting off. E.g., Junior Gotti, Nathan Hecht, and the Duke lacrosse team (but from “innocent sexual activity”).

* Second Circuit Judge John M. Walker hits a New Haven police officer in a traffic accident. The matter is under investigation.

* Global warming practice groups — are they heating up? Or are they the next “Y2K” practice groups?

* Eh, what do you care? You can’t get a Biglaw job anyway — they’re all going to Canadians.

* Team ATL has a new recruit — and he’s proud to be an American. Meet B Clerker.
