ATL Week in Review: December 18-22
The week before a major holiday is usually pretty slow. And the Friday before the holiday weekend is usually dead — the perfect time for Mike Nifong to announce he’s dropping the rape charges against the Duke lacrosse team defendants. Other highlights from the past week in legal news and ATL: * Get to know […] -

Congratulations to Yul Kwon -- Who Says You Don't Learn Anything at Yale Law School?
Apparently you learn how to survive on a desert island. And how to beat out your fellow competitors for a $1 million cash prize, on one of America’s biggest reality television shows. Yul Kwon, the newly crowned winner of “Survivor: Race Wars” “Survivor: Cook Islands,” is a lawyer, former Second Circuit law clerk, and 2000 […] - Sponsored

Judge Denny Chin: Born To Run
Time for a quick break from Biglaw and bonuses. Earlier this week, Judge Denny Chin (S.D.N.Y.) dismissed a lawsuit by a Florida man who blamed the Atkins diet for his heart troubles. As the WSJ Law Blog points out, Judge Chin offered some dieting tips in the opinion: In a footnote, Judge Chin wrote that […]

What Part of "Fabulous" Do You Not Understand?
We enjoy reading your comments. Well, some of them. See, e.g., here, here, and here. But some we find rather mystifying. Like this comment on How Yummy Is Eumi?, our profile of high-powered federal prosecutor Eumi Choi, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California (San Francisco). Commenter “Barbara” wrote: This post, like […] -

Lawsuit of the Day: Lesbians in the OC
No, we’re not talking about that time on “The OC” when Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) shared a girl-on-girl kiss with Alex (Olivia Wilde). Rather, we’re referring to a civil rights case currently pending before Judge James Selna, in the Central District of California. From the L.A. Times (via How Appealing): Two high schoolers are caught […] -

Viet Dinh: A Dissenting Opinion
Some of you think that we list a bit too much to the right around here — that we rave about prominent legal conservatives, while mocking the liberals. We’ve heard your complaints. For the record, we regularly poke fun at conservatives, while raving about liberals. In terms of garnering raves, as long as you’re a […] -

Viet Dinh Is One Hungry Guy
Remember Professor Viet Dinh? If not, here’s what we previously wrote about him: Dinh represents venture capitalist god Thomas Perkins, in Perkins’s (rather tense) dealings with HP’s board and lawyers [concerning the HP spying controversy]. Dinh, for those of you visiting from other planets, is one of the highest-flying legal eagles in the country. He’s […] -

How Yummy Is Eumi?
This post is even more random than usual. But it’s Friday, and Mother Nature is going bonkers — a major snowstorm in the Midwest, an epic typhoon in the Philippines — so indulge us. Some time ago, we characterized the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of California (San Francisco) as “well-regarded.” But then […] - Sponsored

Benchslapped: The Arizona Voter ID Ruling
We realize we’re late on this, since the news broke on Friday. But at the time, we thought Purcell v. Gonzalez was just a run-of-the-mill Supreme Court ruling. We didn’t realize it featured delicious benchslaps of the Ninth Circuit, the lower court whose decision was vacated. The state of Arizona adopted a rule for next […] -

Kenji Yoshino: Tied to a Chair?
We recently passed along the rumor that Professor Kenji Yoshino, one of Yale Law School’s most promising young scholars, might be leaving New Haven for one of the New York City law schools. It’s no secret that Professor Yoshino vastly prefers New York to New Haven. As noted on his website, he already splits his […] -

Skaddenfreude: $910K Buys a Lot of Bibimbap
Once you hit your third year at a large law firm, and sometimes even earlier, you start receiving dozens of calls from legal recruiters. Usually you send them to voice-mail, then delete their messages later. But occasionally, when you’re having a bad day at the office, you listen to their dulcet tones — and dream […]

Viet Dinh: Still As Cuddly As Ever
The recent HP leak investigation scandal has drawn into the spotlight a legal celebrity of the first rank: Viet Dinh.
