What Was The Best Biglaw Summer Associate Event Of 2012?

By

Who had a ball this summer?

It’s August. The dog days. The beginning of the end of the summer. Summer associate programs at Biglaw firms are starting to wrap up. So it’s time for us to seek submissions for the best summer associate event of the season.

Biglaw summer programs are smaller and less opulent than they used to be. But they’re not as bad as they were during the darkest days of the recession. Summer associates are getting offers. And having lesbian sex. It’s not all bad.

There have to be some summer events worth nominating this year. Hell, at this point we’d settle for a summer event that didn’t require medical attention after it finished….

June Lawyer of the Month: ‘The Internet Is an Archive, Idiot’

By

It’s time to announce the winner of June’s Lawyer of the Month competition. Last month, we had a potpourri of lawyers allegedly behaving badly for readers to choose from. In the end, there was one clear winner, who stole almost 50 percent of the total vote (and one pair of candidates who were ROBBED of the award, but more on that later).

Let’s find out who took home the honorific of Lawyer of the Month — and while we’re at it, let’s pray that this character doesn’t sue us in some oddball filing for bestowing it upon him….

Comment of the Week: The Pledge of Evil

By

This week, we had many wonderful comments to choose from, simply due to the high number of entertaining stories we’ve written about. But perhaps the most entertaining of all was a story about the daughter of a legendary football coach allegedly getting into a battle royale with one of her former sorority sisters. Because when Kristen Saban dots the “i” in her name with a heart, she does it in blood.

After all, everyone knows that joining a sorority is like taking a pledge of evil — it only takes a little bit of alcohol for all of the demons to escape (and various articles of clothing to come off, but that’s neither here nor there; Google it if you like).

Anyway, let’s find out who won the honorific title of Comment of the Week….

Caption Contest: Employed Nine Months After Graduation in a Full-Time JD Advantage Position

By

As we’ve noted previously, members of the class of 2011 haven’t done very well in the job market, and their starting salaries are relatively low. As a result, many have decided to throw on their entrepreneurial caps and start their own businesses, law-related or otherwise.

But what if you could merge the law with another profession? Wouldn’t that be a great idea? It looks like someone in the Great White North decided to do just that, but with what seems to be a more lucrative career — lawn maintenance.

Here’s the photo for our latest caption contest….

Lawyer of the Month: June Reader Poll

By

June wasn’t exactly hot in terms of bonus payouts, but the weather sure heated up quickly. And thanks to the lawyers we’ve singled out for Lawyer of the Month candidacy, June turned into a real scorcher in terms of humorous legal antics and allegations of attorney misconduct.

While some lawyers allegedly participated in scandalous aeronautical activities, others were literally condemned to crappy community service projects. But who will come out on top in our monthly contest?

Take a look at our nominees for June’s Lawyer of the Month and find out….

Caption Contest: Cravath, Swaine & MOAR BROS

By

It’s summer, it’s hot, wherever they go you can best believe bros will be rocking the flip flops.

We’ve had caption contests before that focused on Cravath swag, and technically this is more of the same. But I’m less interested in the Cravath duffel bag in the following picture. It’s the whole ensemble the merits a caption contest.

As our photographer said:

It never ceases to amaze me the extent to which BigLaw continues to encourage and reward the ‘bro’. “Thanks for bidding us at OCI we have just 1 question: did u wear oversized womens’ aviators, baggy cargo shorts, a dumb polo, and flipflops every single day of law school?” You’re hired.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

Caption Contest Winner: Columbia Law Provides Quality Street Construction Materials

By

With the weather here in New York today, this Columbia Law umbrella is looking more useful than ever before:

Oh, before I forget, I have a little note to anybody who walks around on bright, hot days using an umbrella as a parasol: go f*** yourself. No, I mean that seriously, please take your heavy vinyl rain protection that you’re using because you don’t know the difference between it and a pretensious, lightweight sunshade and shove it up your backside. For the love of God, buy a hat or something….
