The sultry July weather has us pondering the extreme measures people take to beat the heat. We thought we’d do a poll to find out where ATL readers stand on a few burning summer fashion questions.

At the Supreme Court, Waiting for the Other Shoes to Drop
And we’re not speaking metaphorically, about the remaining decisions from October Term 2006. We’re talking about the shoes of celebrated Supreme Court reporter Jan Crawford Greenburg, of ABC News. Will a pair of Manolos fall from the sky? So, what happened to JCG’s footwear? Was it a case of sabotage, by an increasingly threatened rival? […] - Sponsored

Back from the Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell Hearing
We’re back from today’s hearing in Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell. In terms of entertainment value, it was a bit of a disappointment. It was a pretty straightforward proceeding. No salacious accusations of destroyed hard drives; no mystery lawyers popping out of the audience to join in the fun; no mention of attorney disciplinary proceedings. […] -

ATL Poll Results: Button-Down Shirts With Suits Are Kosher
Our prior post about the propriety of wearing a shirt with a button-down collar with a suit provoked vigorous debate in the comments.
