FAIL!

Connecticut just adopted the MEE, thus moving toward a UBE. In so doing, they are moving to a Tuesday-Wednesday exam, denying applicants the opportunity to co-test in New York.

UConn dean Jeremy Paul thinks this a good thing for his students. Fucker.

Let me be the first to say as an above average looking 28 year old male, I would absolutely wreck Christie Brinkly TODAY. I would do everything to that chick, I don't care what year she was born in, she is still smoking hot!

i really hope CA doesn't join that national bar. i went through hell passing that thing, i want all future lawyers to go through the same

"We are getting close to the time when we are going to need an iKindle PhoneBerry. I’d buy it."

Apple is making one. It's more commonly known as a tablet, but I'm sure they'll come up with something cooler to call it. (Although probably not iKindle PhoneBerry. There's some IP issues there.)

I would too, 6

How about a story on Hogan's $80,000 stipend. Presumably the first firm to inform its summers of their complete deferral details. Do work.

does ellie or anyone else bother to fact check these things? the lawyer in the craigslist story did NOT find work. this is just stupid laziness. wake up, ellie.

6 FTW. Close the thread.

The Orly Taitz thing gets only two words? The judge hammered her with a 40-page opinion. He deserves more than two words.

11 here. ellie, the correction is worse. before, you were just wrong. now, it's still wrong AND it makes no sense. admit failure. take it down. try harder tomorrow. and when i say 'try harder', i mean physically show up and do the bare minimum. this is embarassing.

orly taitz sounds like a diseased condition of the mammary glands (bitch had orly taitz).

meanwhile, almost no one knows of the fairly legit birther claims by phillip berg in the third circuit, or that obama has most of his records sealed, or that he's spent well over $1.5 million defending claims about his birth certificate rather than just produce the dang thing.

Orly Taitz is wacko - just from reading her own pleadings you can tell she has no clue about how to litigate a case. She should be disbarred for sheer incompetence and persistently abusive behavior.

Page 27, fn.7: BEST. FOOTNOTE. EVER. --

"The Court does not make this observation simply as a rhetorical device for emphasis; the Court has actually received correspondence assailing its previous order in which the sender, who, incidentally,
challenged the undersigned to a “round of fisticuffs on the Courthouse Square,” asserted that the President is not human."

This judge's responsibility is to adjudicate. INSTEAD, he acts like part of the executive branch and defends Obama on political grounds. He's failed in his responsibilities and serves no purpose.

There's a constitutional issue to be decided, and this judge just put himself in the dustbin of history. Really, he's a pussy. A wimp.

One tit is bigger than the other.

There's a constitutional issue involving POTUS and the judge says it's not a "legitimate case."

Ha, ha, ha... I guess this judge has sipped from the Obama Kool-aid pitcher. I wonder Rahm Emanuel promised in return? (Thanks G.W. for a neocon liberal appointment!)

On to a legitimate judge....

Even a dead revolutionary understands that Birthers are idiots.

REMEMBER: All of these online news sites called the "[Fill in the City] Independent" were just created by globalist commie George Soros.

True story.

Marrying Christie Brinkley was ALWAYS a cautionary tale. Billy Joel had some edge in the 70s, and was well on his way to musical respectability with The Nylon Curtain in the early 80s. Then he married Christie Brinkley and became the official songster for obese dental receptionists everywhere.

Not that I disagree with 6 et al. She just isn't what we call a "keeper."

#19 - yes, but who cares? Damn, that girl still looks fine...

Why Mr. Cook passed over that fine piece of womanhood for some 19 year old chiquita who was working in the toy store at Hamptons, or why he had an internet prn addiction, I will never understand.

24,

lol so true.

Appeal Birther, appeal! Let the truth be known!

I think the birther sanction deserves its own post. Opinion got a little repetitive, but the judge had some good zingers. I esp. liked his footnote about the people who believe Obama is an alien and his rebuttal about the alleged meeting with Eric Holder. Hysterical.

"It could mark one of the biggest changes for lawyers joining the profession since the first U.S. bar exam was given in Delaware in 1763" wrote law.com.

There was no U.S. in 1763.

Marshall Dennehey, Conshohocken to $48 k !

you covered a firm a few months ago that hires high-level people for biotech work, not contract work, and found all of its employees on craigslist. perhaps run a quick search for "craigslist" on ATL before submitting lame stories http://abovethelaw.com/2009/07/non-sequiturs_072709.php

Two "for sure" things:

1.) Christie Brinkley will marry again- probably some dork from a Scandanavian country she meets skiing in Gstaad this Christmas; and

2.) Delaware will never accept a national bar exam. No, DE wants to "grade" the essays -which account for 60% of the score -on content, style, and last but not least, the # of DE Law buzzwords contained in the answer (which are conveniently contained in the outlines that circulate amongst the big firm Bar applicants).
