The Greatest Lawyer Letter Ever? — Finals

Let's figure out who wrote the greatest lawyer letter ever. Until the next one....

You have one more chance to make your voice heard in defining the greatest lawyer letter ever.

In a sense, all the letters in this competition were winners. But since we don’t give out participation trophies around here, we need to crown a champion.

We have two monumental lawyer letters remaining. Letters that loom above the field and shame the rest of the practice to up its game. Letters that provide the perfect, potent cocktail of playful condescension and brass-knuckled lawyering.

So let’s watch these two square off and figure out who wrote the greatest lawyer letter ever.

Until the next one….

When setting up the Final Four, I never noticed that there was a Staci bracket and a JoePa bracket. Staci had written the stories about the 1 seed and 4 seed, while I had written about the 2 seed and the 3 seed. Well, that guarantees a final matchup between us as well.

In the Staci bracket, the battle between Starbucks and a local tavern finally fell to stronger competition. It wasn’t too surprising. The top seed in the tournament, the brilliant response to the town of West Orange, is also the second-most-read story in the eight-year history of Above the Law.

Meanwhile, in the JoePa bracket, we saw an upset. The second-seeded letter that smacked down an overzealous Kirkland & Ellis lawyer couldn’t quite overcome Tom Goldstein’s correspondence with a porn star who flew too close to the sun. Or at least flew a few feet off a roof before falling two stories and breaking her ankle.

Let’s vote: Polls will remain open until MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, at 11:59 p.m.
