Michele Bachmann: Out of the Race, But Still in Our Hearts
Yesterday morning, former IRS tax attorney and Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann held a press conference to announce that she'd be dropping out of the race. It really is a shame that she decided to call it quits, because people love Michele Bachmann. With that said, we present you with a recap of Bachmann's finest moments on the campaign trail.... -

Lindsay Lohan's Courtroom Catwalk: A Photo Essay
Courtroom or catwalk? Perp walk or runway strut? These are the "important" questions that the media has focused on in recent years when it comes to celebrities' run-ins with the law. Headlines focus not on their underlying criminal offenses, but instead on their couture du jour. This rings especially true in the case of Lindsay Lohan.... - Sponsored

The Eyes of the Law: Justices Who Are Slumming It
Justices of the Supreme Court are sort of royalty -- or maybe even deities, gods, and goddesses who walk among us. Alas, it seems that two members of SCOTUS didn't get the memo. They are comporting themselves in public in ways that are inconsistent with the dignity of the Article III judiciary.... -

Score one for women’s equality in the legal profession, even if we’re out there embarrassing ourselves. Only one of our candidates is a man, but […] -

A Crime of Fashion: When Law Students Dress Like Hookers
One of our tipsters alerted us to an episode of TLC's What Not to Wear -- the world's greatest guilty pleasure television show -- that we seem to have missed when it aired last year. The show featured a 2L from a southern law school, but this girl dressed more like a prostitute facing arraignment (sorry, Reema) than the lawyer representing her. So who is she, was she hot, what law school did she attend, and were Stacy and Clinton able to change this girl from a hooker to a looker? -

Summer Is Ending, But Flip-Flops Are Still Hot at Quinn Emanuel
Back in June, we wrote about the lawyers in the Fashion Victims Unit at litigation powerhouse Quinn Emanuel. We were a little surprised when we found out that partner Bill Urquhart was allowing — nay, encouraging — all associates to dress über casually at the office. As Vivia Chen of The Careerist so eloquently put […]

Fashion Dos and Don'ts From the Windy City (If you have a tramp stamp, it may already be too late)
Last week the Chicago Bar Association held a What Not To Wear Fashion Show [PDF].
