Amateur Hour at One First Street?
In about fifteen minutes, the Supreme Court will start hearing oral argument in two big-ticket cases about the use of race as a factor in assigning students to public schools. One case comes from Louisville, Kentucky, and the other from Seattle, Washington. Expect a packed courtroom — the cases are sexy enough to merit same-day […] -

Interview Horror Stories: Wait 'Til You Have the Offer Before Busting Out the Piercings
Over the years, law firms have become more relaxed about the attire and appearance of their associates. But there are limits. From the National Law Journal: “It’s really hard,” said [hiring partner Matthew] Jones, with Duane Morris. He recently interviewed 18 University of Virginia School of Law students in about six hours. He had 15 […] - Sponsored

Surely Better Than a Daytime Soap
The televised event that we put in a plug for earlier today is now underway, on C-Span. And it’s actually not just a conversation with Ted Frank (at right), much as we’d enjoy that. It’s a full-blown panel discussion, sponsored by AEI, on Watters v. Wachovia Bank, to be argued before the Supreme Court tomorrow. […] -

ATL Poll Results: The Jiwani Ad Is HOTT
We can’t say we’re surprised. The readers of ATL probably have a higher-than-average tolerance for things that push the envelope (or the bounds of good taste). But for what they’re worth, here are the results of our most recent reader poll: Reader opinion is consistent with that of Dahlia Lithwick, who had this to say […] -

The Horror, The Horror: Hottest Law School Dean Seen Wearing a Sweatshirt!
We’re not huge fans of this photo of Dean Evan Caminker of the University of Michigan Law School, posted at the WSJ Law Blog: First, we don’t think it’s the most flattering picture of Dean Caminker.

The Jiwani Ad: Hot or Rot?
Controversy has erupted up in Boston over whether it was appropriate for the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly to run this racy advertisement, for Jiwani, a maker of custom-tailored suits: Advertisements like this are a dime a dozen in Details and GQ. But in the more staid pages of a legal news publication, it drew a slew […] -

In Las Vegas Parks, Feed the Pigeons, Not the Bloggers
At right: Homeless — or just fashion-impaired? Back in April, in Jones v.

The ruling struck […] -

Alas, celebrity professor Tim Wu — who was originally scheduled to appear on the Federalist Society Convention panel we just returned from, addressing net neutrality — was not there. We were graced by the presence of Professor Christopher Yoo, however, and his presentation was excellent. Alas, due to the time constraints, he had to cover […] -
