The Greatest Lawyer Letter Ever? — Final Four
There are few competitions that can say "throwing a porn star off the roof has a good shot to win." At least very few competitions outside of Bangkok.
And then there were four. According to Above the Law readers, these are the four best lawyer letters we’ve ever profiled. Four testaments to becoming a legal legend. Or at least a minor celebrity to the ATL faithful. In a couple of weeks it’ll all be over and we’ll have a reigning champion against whom we can judge all future letters.
So which will it be? There are few competitions that can say “throwing a porn star off the roof has a good shot to win.” At least very few competitions outside of Bangkok.

The matchups this week brought few surprises. Every favorite won and most of them won by landslides. Ho hum. Will that continue?
No. 1 – A Great Response to a Cease and Desist Letter vs. No. 4 — The Greatest Response To A Cease And Desist Letter, Probably Written While Drunk
Brutal mockery of the township of West Orange for sending a threatening letter to a local political opponent versus a bar’s response to Starbucks over an alcoholic “Frappicino” drink.

No. 2 – This Lawyer Just Wrote The Best Smackdown Letter You’ll See Today vs. No. 3 — The Most Epic Lawyer Response Ever To A Porn Star Threatening To Sue
Demolition of Kirkland & Ellis for trying to bully a non-party witness versus the seminal letter about throwing a naked woman off a building. This one features two lawyers telling the other side that their arguments won’t fly — figuratively and literally.
This is an epic matchup. I can’t help but think Tom Goldstein’s magnum opus is going to sneak past the higher-seeded competition.
Polls will remain open until Monday, September 1, at 11:59 p.m.
