Non-Sequiturs: 10.12.07
* U.C. Berkeley has settled on a new name for its law school. Check it out, it's quite brilliant. [Blogonaut]
(But we'll probably still conduct the reader poll mentioned here, just for the heck of it.)
* Strained attorney-client relations between Britney Spears and Anne Kiley? Apparently Brit has "trust issues" (in addition to that whole missing-panties problem). [OK! Magazine]
* Wow, this guy is quite a tool. Thankfully he's not a lawyer -- which you could infer from the facts that (1) he lives in Atlanta and (2) he brags about his compensation. [Gawker; follow-up here and here from DealBreaker]
* Judge of the Day. [St. Petersburg Times via Blogonaut]
* Exciting happenings this weekend: (1) the CSPAN rebroadcast of the Clarence Thomas book party, and (2) the nuptials of the Wall Street Journal's Peter Lattman. Congratulations and best wishes, PL! [WSJ Law Blog]

I'm a BOALT HALL alum and I didn't get polled. Where's my say?
"Marshall Strategy Inc. was reportedly paid $25,000 to come up with the new name."
LOL! Hey Berkeley, I could have given it to you for half of that.
The "We Overpaid So-called Consultants to Keep the Same Name We Already Had" Law School
"Thankfully he's not a lawyer -- which you could infer from the facts that (1) he lives in Atlanta and (2) he brags about his compensation." One of the best lines of the week, Lat.
Where is LEWW?
Call her fat, crazy, unfit parent, whatever, I'd still knock the bottom out of that Ms. Spears.
what a douche.
I think I speak for everyone when I say, WTF?? So the law school at UC Berkeley paid $25,000 to have someone tell them they should be named "UC Berkeley School of Law", and it was money "well spent"? This just shows Boalt is TTT.

agreed. we don't get gems like that from Merck.
i agree with 11:06
id still "hit that"
He includes in his list of accomplishments that he's "8.9 on Hot or Not"...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHH!HAHAHAHAH!!!!!1111!!!!JJAJAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!1111111111
I think he should put himself in a baked chicken.
Take away the bad hair, shitty attitude, pink web page, small prick, friend of Andy Dick....if you live in Buckhead, and have half a personality and are not repulsive looking, you can get laid 4 nights a week. Why is this clown on every internet dating site he can find? True clown! I love the way he has the rules down pat though and how sending a "wink," whatever that is, translates to "hitting on him." CLOWN!!!
Is it just me or does John Fitzgerald Page's "pity me" speech remind you of Shakespearean tragedy?

This moron acts like the girl ruined his reputation when, clearly, he ruined it himself. Moreover, I'm guessing he ruined it long before the bloggers got hold of his email.
BTW, I don't really see why he thinks he's an orphan. His mom died 2 years ago. By his standards, a lot of other guys in their late 40's are orphans.
