Brokeback Lawfirm: A Runway Report (Part 2)
This is a continuation of our earlier post evaluating the fashions on display last week, at the New York Supreme Court hearing in the litigation between gay lawyer Aaron Charney and his former employer, Sullivan & Cromwell. We gave out the big awards — e.g., Best-Dressed Lawyer — yesterday. But there are still a few […] -

* Fans of “The Office” (what BBC version?) will rejoice at this play-by-play of potential litigation related to each episode. Ladies, whenever you cringe at the memory of a loser ex-boyfriend, just think of Jan, Michael’s otherwise competent and attractive boss, who somehow ends up vacationing with him… at a Sandals resort.

Brokeback Lawfirm: A Runway Report (Part 1)
Move over, Bryant Park. The real fashion show was going on here: New York Supreme Court, 60 Centre Street. Last week, of course, was New York Fashion Week. Our little sister, Fashionista, covered the events extensively. Meanwhile, downtown from the tents in Bryant Park, we too had fashion on the brain. But instead of watching […]

Brokeback Lawfirm: A Photo Essay (Part 2)
60 Centre Street, home to the New York State Supreme Court, where Aaron Charney and Sullivan & Cromwell did battle last week. Last Thursday, we trekked up to New York City, to cover a hearing in the cases of Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell and Sullivan & Cromwell v. Charney (collectively, “Brokeback Lawfirm”). We took […] -

Wherein Shanetta Cutlar Laughs Her Ass Off At Her Detractors
As regular ATL readers well know, we’ve been offering wall-to-wall coverage of Shanetta Y. Cutlar. If you’re not familiar with her, Ms. Cutlar is the nightmarish awesomely overachieving diva who oversees the Special Litigation Section (SPL), part of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. Shanetta Cutlar is a strong leader with a distinctive managerial style. […] -

Sullivan & Cromwell v. Charney: More MSM Coverage
Rumor has it that Sullivan & Cromwell’s chairman, banking law god H. Rodgin Cohen, was “pretty angry” when he learned that the New York Times would be covering Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell, the anti-discrimination lawsuit filed against S&C by a gay former associate, Aaron Charney. (The NYT story was pretty even-handed. But it was […] -

Judge Rendell: She Gives Love a Bad Name
The latest item for Eyes of the Law, our legal celebrity sightings column, is a doozy. From the AP: Rock band Bon Jovi, Harrisburg restaurants and school bands from all over the state were part of yesterday’s daylong celebration of Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell’s inauguration for a second term…. Even more talented than Rendell was […] -

Be Grateful for Our Litigious American Ways
Some people, like the Overlawyered crew, can’t stop bitching about our ridiculously litigious society. They complain that here in the United States, people sue at the drop of a hat, for the most stupid or frivolous of reasons. But there may be an upside to our culture of litigation. From the AFP: The leading association […] -

Lawsuit of the Day: Gifties v. Tards
Here’s an interesting appeal that was recently argued before the Seventh Circuit. From the Chicago Sun-Times (via Ted Frank): Four years ago, the “Gifties” of Beaubien School lost in the principal’s office. Then, this class of gifted eighth-grade students lost in U.S. district court. Undeterred, Thursday the group went before one of the highest courts […] -

Well, not in so many words. But in his interview last night with Jan Crawford Greenburg of ABC News — his first television appearance network television interview ever — Justice John Paul Stevens seemed healthy, lucid, and far from death’s door.

Sheppard Mullin's New Practice Group: FAT Law?
This post has nothing to do with the morbidly obese (which we recently learned is a medical term, not a colorful insult). In fact, they should probably hang a sign out reading, “Fat people need not apply.” “They” refers to Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, which is launching an exciting new practice group: the Fashion […] -

Some Neckwear Non-Sequiturs
A recent meme of the legal blogosphere: neckties. We find this subject hard to resist, since it lies at the intersection of two of our favorite topics: fashion and law. Because of the staid fashion standards of the legal profession — dark suits, white or blue shirts, black shoes (or brown if you’re wild ‘n […] -

When Camille Paglia Calls You A Slut, You Know You've Gone Too Far
One of our favorite cultural critics, the super-opinionated and hilarious Camille Paglia, recently weighed in on the trend of female celebrities “flashing their goodies for the camera,” in the words of US Weekly. Despite her general “pro-sex” bent, Paglia disapproves of the practice: These girls are lowering themselves to the level of backstreet floozies. It […] -
