Let's Help This Law Student Find His Missed Connection
It's the great downside of Halloween. You meet a girl, you like her, things seem to be going well. And then, poof, she's gone.

Who Uses An AOL Email To Cast A Lawyer Reality Show?
For the sake of Bravo, of reality television, of the legal profession in general, Elie hopes this Craigslist ad is fake. Because if it's not, that means that Bravo is putting together a pilot for some kind of Beverly Hills-based, female-lawyer reality show, and the network is casting it on Craigslist through somebody who so has his finger on the pulse of whatever that he's still using an AOL email address. Hey, calm down L.A. ladies, he'll give you the damn email address in two seconds.... -

Need A Rental? I Know A Sweet Apartment Going For Only $42,540.
There's been a sweet apartment deal on Craigslist for about a week, but we haven't been able to tell you about it because it took us a while to figure out where the apartment was. Oh, we knew the city (Boston). And we know there is an intense demand for $40,000/year plus, three-year rentals in the area. But now we know. You're not going to believe this, but the building and the price correspond to an area law school.... -

Partners for Sale on Craigslist
It’s no secret that the legal market is still in the tank.
