Here’s our recap of the past week in ATL, completely free of Biglaw or bonus news (which will be summarized in a separate “Week in Review” post).

The theme for this week’s news: “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”

* Hardworking lawyers are still unhappy with their sex lives.

* Celebrities still get in legal trouble (and so do state court judges).

* Borat-related lawsuits still keep getting filed.

* The Duke lacrosse team rape case is still FUBAR.

* Law school libraries are still foul-smelling at the height of final exams.

* Pro se litigants are STILL AWESOME.

* Senator Orrin Hatch is still on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

* Justice Breyer is still concerned about sectarian violence in the 17th century.

* Eumi Choi is still our idol.

* Working for the government still offers many young lawyers more interesting work, and greater responsibility, than Biglaw life (but without a five-figure bonus).

* Also, public interest work still attracts some of the most promising law school graduates.

Have a good weekend, everyone!
