The anonymous bloggers of Skadden Insider narrowly defeated Anonymous Lawyer, and Althouse narrowly beat Instapundit, who narrowly beat Nuts & Boalts.
Ms. JD overtook Overlawyered, and Prawfsblawg overcame Balkinization, Quizlaw and Concurring Opinions. Blonde Justice and Likelihood of Confusion were locked together in a tie, with Blawg Review, Lessig Blog, JD Bliss, and ProfessorBainbridge.com just below.
Arguably, the mighty Peter Lattman really won both polls, as not only did his Wall Street Journal blog decimate the competition, but his pick for Lawyer of the Year, Loyola 2L, bested Harvard Law’s Barack Obama by 140 votes.

Meanwhile, even counting all the delegates from Michigan and Florida, Yale’s Hillary Clinton was far, far behind.
Also besting Hillary was whoever helps the woman who e-mailed Above The Law about her landlord dispute, in which a landlord has told a homebound woman in a wheelchair to get rid of a chipmunk ramp that has brought her joy for the last several years. About 450 of you voted to honor this attorney — and we’re happy to report that one of you has already stepped up to help.
