Oh...I see.
Was anyone afraid of lawyers ever?
Where is Lady Soto with a "She Bangs" joke?
4th but claimgin First dibs on shouting first!
Actually, I've had the opportunity to bill multiple hours of time on facebook.
It's amazing how useful it is when investigating plaintiffs and investigating potential jurors.
3 - That would not be wise of her.
According to the Bloomberg article, Latham joined Legal OnRamp. Maybe this is why they no longer need those extra first years.
1st years are a drag on productivity and profits. I say let's turn them into apprenticeships, pay them like crap (just like doctors doing their training), and be done with the unsustainable model we are saddled with today.
1- to answer your question- they are really smart. It is those liberal, lefty , communists, nazi racists who are the dumb ones.
You know, like the harvard law review editor- president who attempts to brainwash the poor kids when he tells them to study hard. And to think that all the while the sob was really putting plans into place to quietly euthanize their parents and grandparents.
Good job you dragged your unemployed arse across to those town halls, with your guns and swastikas and put an end to that...
Oh wait.
Why do you continue to give coverage to that bigot Sotomayor? You should be asking her to resign.
Why did MoveOn sick its bloggers onto this board? Seriously, children, grow the fuck up! I'm looking at you, 1 and 9.
This board is intended for overwhelming whining and insider information about law firms. So let's get it started...
The pic of Sotomayor on the magazine cover looks a lot like that Gloria Cannon woman. Not a compliment.
Are we officially ditching the "Sonia from the block" catchphrase?
Ricky and I go way back. He always said I'd be on the High Court. If you listen to "She Bangs" -- a song he dedicated to me -- you can hear him say "Living it on Capitol Hill" exactly five seconds in:
