Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 11.1: The Beard

champagne glasses small.jpg
As expected, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner easily won our October Couple of the Month poll. You can read all about Ivanka’s newlywed bliss here, here, and here (she’s already “gadding about the city ringless.”)

Now we plummet back to earth to turn the LEWW spotlight on more ordinary folk. This week’s contestant-couples:

1. Lisa Klein and Blake Sparrow

2. Sarah Goodstine and Laurie Levin

3. Rachel Moston and Garrett Ross

Get the scoop on these newlyweds, after the jump.

Klein-Sparrow.jpg
1. Lisa Klein and Blake Sparrow
(Buy them a vodka decanter.)

The Case:
- This vivacious-looking bride, a magna cum laude graduate of Mount Holyoke College, is an events coordinator.
- Her groom graduated cum laude from Amherst and is studying for a JD at Howard. He’s also the editor-in-chief of the Howard Law Journal.

The Case Against:
- The groom apparently goes by “X. Blake Sparrow.” LEWW can’t decide whether that’s effete or totally bad-ass.

Goostine-Levin.jpg
2. Sarah Goodstine and Laurie Levin
(Buy them a coffee pot.)

The Case:
- These brides met at Northwestern Law School, from which they both graduated cum laude (Laurie, on the right, also received an MBA from Northwestern). Both also have undergraduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, Sarah magna cum laude and Laurie cum laude.
- Both women are associates at law firms in New York. Sarah is at Patterson Belknap; Laurie is at Goodwin Procter.

The Case Against:
- They greedily had two weddings, a real one in Massachusetts and a fake one in backward Pennsylvania. There were also two proposals.

Moston-Ross.jpg
3. Rachel Moston and Garrett Ross
(Buy them a slow cooker.)

The Case:
- Another two-JD couple, this pair met as students at Brooklyn Law School. She graduated cum laude; he was magna.
- Rachel, a graduate of Haverford College, is an assistant corporation counsel at the New York City Law Department in Manhattan. Garrett, who went to the University of Wisconsin, is an associate at Cahill, Gordon & Reindel.

The Case Against:
- In LEWW’s experience, facial hair in Biglaw is fairly rare. A bold expression of rugged individuality, or just lumberjack-weird?

The Verdict:
- Two law degrees from Northwestern and two plum Biglaw jobs, Team Goodstine-Levin is the clear winner this week. Congratulations to both brides!

For the second couple, I quit reading when I learned that they cum loudly.

Finally, for the third couple, UW goes trolling at Brooklyn Law. Someone has a self-esteem problem.

Couple 1 is the winner on the basis of Mr. Sparrow's poaching prowess. I am sure Ms. Klein's parents are delighted to have Blake as a son-in-law.

Couple 2: Since I do not recognize same sex marriage, this couple is disqualified.

Couple 3: I don't know what kind of Mickey Mouse operation they run at Cahill but any peer firm would make Garrett shave off that detestable looking beard. I am sure Ms. Moston will enjoy the rest of her prime years wiping the food and drool that is captured by her ogre looking spouse's beard.

Uh, Howard Grad here. FYI, Howard's LSAT score is low because of the wide range of applicants it accepts. Part its mission statement is to give low scoring applicants a chance to go to law school. The flip side is that high scoring applicants (such as myself) go to law school practically for free, graduate with the same BigLaw job as you tools at HYS, but incur a quarter of the debt.

Enjoy that pb&j while you pay off those loans; I've got reservations at Ruth's Chris.

The only change you'll be throwing is the quarter that JaKe dropped into your box as a bathroom attendant. Now hurry up - your shift begins soon.

And as to your fantasy that Howard's stats are so low because they want to give "lower performers a chance" - that is sad, considering that any black person with a modicum of mediocrity can AA into a tier 1, (e.g. Elie Mystal) thus the blacks at Howard are really the bottom of the barrel. But they can act like there was some sort of "choice" in the matter because they "elected" to go to a black law school, thoughbeit unaccredited.

Douchie, you and the balance of the AA trolls here confuse me: if a man of color (I am guessing he is mixed and possibly bilingual, btw) goes to an elite institution he could only be an AA admit.........

but if he goes to a HBCU, a school for which AA actually works in the *other* direction, he is going to "crime college" and not getting an education worthy of your attention.

Where, pray tell, would you be comfortable with minorities going to school? Given your post at #80, I'm guessing such a place doesn't exist.

I swear it's comments like the ones above that make me hate a lot of white people. I graduated from Howard, ended up at a V10 and have no debt to show for it. Kiss my black a$$ haters.

Douchie,

Get a grip, man. Don't get pissed because I opted to go to Howard and have the same opportunities as you. Truth is, I got into several Tier 1 school, waitlisted at some others, but the cost outweighed the benefits for me (benefits being the BigLaw job). When Howard offered me the same benefits at a fraction of the price, it made perfect sense. I see now I made a good decision, because whether I had spent 250K at HYS or 45K at Howard, you would still think of me as inferior to you.

Seriously though, work out that aggression. Preferably before you reproduce (hopefully not by way of rape).

Lisa is the product of a single parent home. Remember, if you get a divorce, your daughter's going to run off with an african-american. At least he's marrying her rather than knocking her up for welfare.

129 -- Attributing infantile message board banter to an entire race speaks volumes about your own ignorance and ability to process and weigh information in a rational manner.

Come back to reality -- white people aren't the devil out to denigrate all of your acheivements.

139 -- You may want to reread 129's post. It said "most", not "all". There IS a difference and you may want to check your "ability to process and weigh" information.

So Funny how some of these posters are so highly offensive...I attended Howard Law, achieved a 165 on LSAT and passed the NY Bar, graduated with a quarter of the debt that u have and I have a job at a great firm (Big Law Top 30 Firm). I was admitted to a few Top 20 schools and CHOSE to attend Howard...and I am overjoyed that I made that decision. I feel sorry for you that you have such low self-esteem that you feel the need to debase others. I hope you live a little before you bring any children into this world because I would hate to have any more ignorant bigots joining the American population.

150, well, let's see. Go to colored law school, work at white law firm. If you like being with your own, why not work at a civil rights law firm. Oh, yeah, you need some of whitey's money, and you can't wait for Obama to give you some more.

155 here: I here and now appologize for using the word "colored" to refer to our African-American brothers and sisters. When and where I grew up, everyone used all the wrong words, which are considered today to be racist. Well, I guess it's ok for my Black brothers and sisters to use "colored" in the NAACP, but not for us non-black folks. Sorry about that.

Ug, ATL needs to be put out of its misery. I hope these couples don't read these comments - imagine not only be publicly ridiculed but also subjected to racist and homophobic jeering as a result of your wedding announcement. It's a really disgraceful business model, guys. How do you sleep at night?

Anyway, congrats to the adorable Sarah and Laurie!

like last week's south park recommended, the term 'fag' should no longer refer to homosexuals but to people who ride their motorcycles loudly through town, ruining the peace and quiet for everyone around them because they need attention. the term should also include people who place an "X." at any part of their name without officially changing it.

The X before Blake Sparrow's name denotes 10 in Roman numeral, as in "I have a 10 ii\ch dong mofo." Indeed a badass.

"That's what they're asking for when they publicly throw their pics out there. Don't wanna deal with that, then don't do it."

My point was that there are individuals who make money off of this blog (the owners and the advertisers) and they should be ashamed of themselves for creating and supporting such a vicious forum.

Also "X" probably stands for Xavier.

It is a shame that this much ignorance exists among the so-called preeminent of our society. To all the racists posting messages - I'm better than you, I have a higher LSAT score, I went to a better college, I had better grades, I make more money, I went to Howard Law and I'm black. Get over yourself.
