Law License Plates: Cruising Credentials
It's been a while since our last post on law-related vanity license plates, but this submission comes to us all the way from California. Apparently the people out there are so laid-back that they're willing to freely offer up reasons to key their cars and slash their tires. You better leave a good tip for the valet, especially when this is your license plate. -

But one small firm is building a DUI defense empire in Georgia. You’ll be so happy that they get your case thrown out that you won’t even mind when they use your full name and share the details of your drunken escapades to drum up more business. - Sponsored

Judge of the Day: Another Dangerous D.C. Driver
What is up with judges in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area? Why are they such bad drivers? Last month, Justice Antonin Scalia got into a fender-bender in northern Virginia.

SUV Smashes a Hole Into Pitt Law School
I feel bad for Pittsburgh Law students. Just ten days ago, career services embarrassed them by offering students jobs putting fliers on parked cars. And now today, an out-of-control driver punched a hole into their law building. Literally. Last night an SUV crashed into the Barco Law Building and punched a hole in the wall. […] -

The Wheels of Justice (Scalia): Will Nino Fight His Traffic Ticket?
In my earlier story about Justice Antonin Scalia’s fender-bender on the George Washington Parkway, I tossed out a question: What kind of car does Justice Scalia drive? A few years ago, Justice Scalia drove a BMW. Is Nino still partial to Bimmers, or has he switched his automotive allegiances? Now we know the answer — […] -
