If you believe traffic stats (we do), many of you have been enjoying our extensive coverage of the Dewey & LeBoeuf meltdown. One of our coverage hallmarks has been the consistently awesome puns based on “Dewey.”
The wordsmithing is largely the handiwork of David Lat. And it’s somewhat of a tradition around these parts. We employed the same linguistic device during the Howrey collapse last year.

I know, right? It’s so clever! But as a wise man once said, internet debates are always won by the funniest. Rage posting will only ever get you the silver medal.
And, for the record, Dewey plan to continue with the puns? As long as we have more Dewey stories to write, you betcha.
