Given that I have $250,000 in debt and no job, I would much rather climb a pissed off sandworm without maker hooks on the desert in Arrakis than be an associate in the former Wolf Block law firm.
FIRST!!!!
How does Weil have the manpower to handle all these massive bankruptcies all at the same time?
2 = Doesn't read before posting
First to be fired and last to be hired.
Satomayor will be confirmed. There's really no story there. I just wish they'd get it over with. And what's taking so long? Get it over with already.
1 = waste of space. Much like many of the "I'm important because I post the same thing every time" people.
RALPH BAXTER PAY CUT!
Franken is trying to steal the election, just like Gore tried to do in 2000.
Why are libs always trying to steal things?
Franken peaked in his cameo appearance in Trading Places. His on-screen job is where he belongs.
Never knew Bill Rosoff was a member of the "troika" at Wolfblock. We've had some dealings with him---capable lawyer, but the "brilliant" characterization in the article is way off the mark.
