Homeless By Choice: Because Law School Wasn't Tough Enough
If you were close to a computer on Wednesday, you probably noticed the article on Gawker about the Yeshiva University student who was "homeless by choice" while going to school. If you read the article quickly, you might have missed the part where we found out this student is a 2L at Cardozo Law School. You might have missed the part where this 2L at Cardozo decided to go through a semester of law school while living on the streets.... -

Blago's Class of 2007 Lawyer: A 'Harebrained' Hottie?
Landing a huge case is what all lawyers dream about. For most lawyers, the planets never align, and that dream never becomes a reality. But for one lawyer, that dream came true just a few years after having graduated from law school. Sometimes, however, dreams turn into nightmares. When you're representing a notorious client like Rod Blagojevich, your successes might soon turn into failures. Who is the (rather attractive) class of 2007 lawyer representing Blago, and why did a judge characterize her recent courtroom stylings as "harebrained"? - Sponsored

You Know Your Law School Really Cares When You Get Holiday Cards Like This
You know that it's the holiday season when your inbox begins to fill up with holiday cards. Some are cute, some are clever, some are heartfelt, and some come from people and companies you don't even remember meeting or doing business with. So what happens when a law school sends out a holiday card, but completely botches it? -

An Interview With the 2L Who's Advertising Himself on Google
Yesterday we brought you the story of a 2L at Cardozo Law School who has taken out Google ads promoting himself, in an attempt to find a summer associate job. We reached out to Eric Einisman to ask him: What was he thinking? -

One 2L's Innovative Approach to Job Hunting
A reader alerted us to the following Google ad, which showed up in a Gmail sidebar next to a law-related email chain. Whoa! Is this for real? Is a second-year student at Cardozo Law School actually advertising himself via text ads on Google, promoting himself as "[a] great choice for Summer Associate"? -

Best Way To Brag About An Offer: Now With Pictures
Last week, we told you the story about a University of Chicago Law School student who received an offer and found a charitable way of bragging about it to his friends. Our next installment of law student puffery involves photos, which is always fun. But in truth we can't be totally sure if this guy is bragging about getting an offer. Given the firm the kid is bragging about, he might just be happy to be there....

The Aftermath of the East Coast Earthquake of 2011
In the wake of the east coast earthquake of 2011, the legal world seems to be back to its regularly scheduled programming. Courts are back in session, law firms have reopened, and government agencies are fully functioning. We received a lot of tips from our readers about their earthquake experiences, but more importantly, we have the final results from our reader poll. We now know who we can blame for moving the earth and disrupting our day. And no, it wasn't Obama's Fault.... -

It's Hard Out Here for a Career Services Dean
The most important person in law school administration is the dean. That makes sense. He or she makes policy and is in charge of the academic and financial footing for the entire school. But who is the second most-important administrator? The dean of students? The head financial aid officer? I say that the second most-important […] -

Got Milk? Not At Cardozo.
Upon receiving an email entitled “Breakfast battles at Cardozo,” I naturally assumed there was some kind of kosher issue between the administration and secular students at the school. I was hoping for something outrageous. Perhaps a kid was ready to bite into a ham and cheese croissant when he was tackled by a gang of […] -

Start Your Whining (Part 2): U.S. News Makes Law Schools Squirm All Across the Land
Yesterday we talked about a couple of schools that fell in this year’s U.S. News law school rankings, whose deans promptly devoted school-wide emails making excuses for their programs dropping. Predictably, they criticized U.S. News’s latest methodology, even though this year’s formula did a better job of focusing on factors law students actually care about […] -
