* The Kindle is a business expense now. Excellent. Now even more people can get their hands on the best thing ever. [Legal Blog Watch]
* Appellate Court Judge Warren D. Wolfson, has been named interim dean at DePaul College of Law. Either Judge Wolfson hasn’t been following along with the fiasco at DePaul, or the man is quite courageous. [Law Librarian Blog]
* For those of you in the Silicon Valley, here’s an event on Wednesday that may be worth your while. [Santa Clara Law]
* Working from home is totally awesome. Unless you live in a closet that you’d hoped to move out of by now, but you can’t thanks to years of poor financial planning and the disappearance of sub-prime mortgages. Then, working from home is just really, really cool. [Young Lawyers Blog]
* Bars are now allowed in Utah. So now we’ve got liquor and the ability to marry multiple women. Vegas should take note, they’re a blackjack table and a dog track away from being a viable vacation alternative. [Transracial]

"their a blackjack table and a dog track away from being a viable vacation alternative." Don't you mean "they're"????
where do we even start with this...?
One day, everyone will have the option to work from home. **Hope...Pray***
"Vegas should take note, their a blackjack table and a dog track away from being a viable vacation alternative. "
"There", "their" and "they're" were covered in 3rd grade. How can this continue at ATL, which is supposedly run by Ivy League types?
Sheesh, everyone's an editor all of a sudden.
6 = mystal
7, wrong. 6 = guy who recognizes he has made a few mistakes/typos in his life.
So, the president and provost of DePaul fire Dean Weissenberger, under whose tenure the school's ranking has moved from the third to second tier (with a 7-point LSAT jump), and replace him with a judge in his 70s who has precisely NO academic experience of any kind. Nice plan.
8=6
ATL sucked today. Comments sucked. Everything sucked.
there are some folks like mystal at my firm: pad your hours with low quality product between, say, 10 and 2, and then sit back for the rest of the day. while it's not a bad strategy, no one's gonna believe that 2.1 next to the howrey post.
Damn, these comments are depressing me.
If you look closely, you can get a whole 0.05 hours of substance abuse MCLE credit by attending the Santa Clara event! That's 3 minutes...
Yeah, if Vegas does get that blackjack table, they will be a great alternative vacation destination.
I miss Lat so much sometimes
13 - No, wrong. These comments OUR depressing me.
Funny Utah joke, MysTTTal. In case you didn't know, bigamy is illegal in Utah. You are such a bigot. You hate Mormons and want to try and make people think that Mormons practice polygamy. What if we made a racist joke about some part of the country with a large black population--we would be banned from ATL. Like most liberals, you are a total hypocrite.
Also, you're an idiot. Or, to interpret into Elie language, your an idiot. Maybe if I use incorrect grammar, you will understand. How did you get into Harvard?
This posting=Mystttal, desperately trying to drum up dumb controversy so that he can get lots of page views from thin-skinned Mormons who ought to know better than jumping headfirst into Mystttal land
17=a thin skinned Mormon who is giving Mystttal too little credit. Newsflash: he's not stupid, just transparent and unoriginal.
Grammar Nazi say:
"Was EVERYONE nice to THEIR dad yesterday?" is wrong.
"Everyone" = singular
"Their" = plural possessive.
Should read: "Was EVERYONE nice to HIS dad yesterday."
Douche.
Thanks for the Mormon slur, Elie. Way to show your bigotry. Seriously, ATL is full of crap. This genius can't even figure out simple grammar. You'd think the spell checker would catch it. Guess he's too dumb to use that too. The only upside to this site is the centralization of firm layoff announcements.
Even with the elementary (literally!) their/they're error corrected, that sentence is still a disaster. There's a comma splice and an ambiguous pronoun. Honestly, my 18-year-old public-school-educated brother writes better than Elie. Has Harvard Law always been such a toilet?
