More on Steinbuch v. Cutler
We were pretty lazy in our recent discussion of the upcoming trial in Steinbuch v. Cutler. And even our former colleagues at Wonkette were kind of phoning it in.*
But not everyone is so unmotivated. Over at Eat the Press, Melissa Lafsky — of Opinionistas fame — has penned an excellent analysis of this case and controversy. It’s exactly the sort of informed yet accessible account that would one expect from a lawyer-turned-writer, and we recommend it highly.
* We can hardly blame the Wonketteers for tiring of L’Affaire Washingtonienne. Wonkette has been covering that blogospheric sex scandal since since blogging was in its infancy.
(And yes, we think blogging has moved beyond the infant stage. But we concede that it’s not yet potty-trained.)

The same Melissa Lafsky who failed the bar on her first attempt and wildly inflated her big-law credentials under the nom de plume "opinionistas"... I am sure the analysis has all the subtle analysis that can be conjured up at the hand of a first-year associate.
What's next Jeremy Blachman critques the judicial writings of Justice John Marshall. I wretch.
I can't vouch for her skills as a lawyer. But I do enjoy Lafsky's writing, which is smart, lively, and funny.
Also, good for her for having the guts to leave Biglaw to pursue what she really enjoys (instead of just bitching and moaning like the rest of us).
She didn't leave biglaw... she was never there in the first place...
she looks yummy. I digress.
