Our Visit to Columbia Law School: A Photo Essay
We spent a fair amount of time at Columbia Law School last week. We attended their moot court finals, gave a talk sponsored by the Federalist Society, and enjoyed ourselves at their Law Revue (more on that — including a video clip — later). Here are a few photographs we took while up at CLS. […] -

Dining With a Diva: Lunch with Judge Janice Rogers Brown (Part 2)
“I wouldn’t call Harry Edwards a ‘judicial divo,’ per se. He’s just really irritable, that’s all.” This is a continuation of our earlier post about a luncheon talk by the fantabulous Judge Janice Rogers Brown. Judge Brown sits on the D.C. Circuit, the most prestigious appellate court in the country after the U.S. Supreme Court […]

Janice Rogers Brown: Methinks the Diva Doth Protest Too Much
Last Friday, we attended a fantastic lunch talk by Judge Janice Rogers Brown (near right; her celebrity doppelganger, Wanda Sykes, is on the far right). In case you’re not familiar with her, Judge Brown is a leading judicial diva. She’s a former justice of the California Supreme Court and a current member of the D.C. […] -

Dean Harold Koh Launches a Charm Offensive
We received an interesting tip last week from a Yale Law School source: I thought you might be interested in this email, which just went out to the Yale Federalist Society email list. It seems you may have struck some fear into Harold Koh with your recent coverage of his ideological tendencies. Here’s the email […] -

Justice Alito's OT 2006 Law Clerks
Sorry it has taken us so long. As promised months ago, we now begin our series profiling current Supreme Court clerks (aka the “October Term 2006” or “OT 2006” law clerks). We’ll be going chambers by chambers, starting with the most junior justice. Here are the four law clerks to Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr.: […] -

Senator Arlen Specter: One Heck of a Squash Player
Here’s another excellent article from Jeffrey Toobin of the New Yorker. It’s about the role played by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), outgoing chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, with respect to the recent habeas corpus legislation (aka the Military Commissions Act of 2006). If you’re confused about the controversy over this legislation, which has wound […] - Sponsored

ATL Week in Review: November 20-24
* Another week, another Borat lawsuit. * Wow — it doesn’t take much to get lawyers all hot and bothered. But ATL readers were evidently untroubled. * Merry Christmas. There will be no O.J. Simpson book. * But no Britney sex tape, either. * Wesley Snipes has some harsh words for the IRS. And Judge […] -

An ATL Public Service Announcement: 'The Wages of Sin Is Death!' (Romans 6:23)
Apperances can be deceiving. The smiling woman above looks like a sweet old lady (or perhaps she’s middle-aged). But don’t be fooled. This pleasant-looking woman opened a can of whoop-ass at the final panel discussion of the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention. She rained hellfire and brimstone upon the audience, and placed at least two […] -

Last week we briefly discussed the appearance at the Federalist Society convention of Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA), outgoing chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. We also described our exchange with him during the question-and-answer session. We now provide you with a somewhat more detailed account of Senator Specter’s remarks. We found them surprisingly funny; but […] -

From the Belly of the Beast: Paul Clement
Throughout the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention, which we attended last week, various members and leaders of the group revelled in its reputation for being part of the “vast right-wing conspiracy” (in the immortal words of Senatrix Hillary Rodham Clinton). We’re going to play along. We have a few write-ups of conference events that we’ll […] -

ATL Party Crash: Wherein the Harvard Federalists Throw a Bitchin' After Party
The Federalist Society Annual Dinner is basically one huge party. And no party would be complete without a rockin’ after party. The Oscars have the Vanity Fair after-party; the Fed Soc dinner has the Harvard Law School after-party. And it’s supremely convenient. Unlike many after parties, which are held in obscure venues like underground bars […] -

Judge Edith Jones: And She Brakes for Small Animals, Too
For years we’ve been huge fans of Judith Edith H. Jones. She had a reputation as a tough, smart, conservative judge. She was known as as a badass of the bench, more than capable of eviscerating counsel or colleagues who crossed her. Her dramatic nickname — “horsewoman of the right-wing apocalypse” — pretty much said […] -

As we mentioned earlier, we spent much of the past few days attending events at the Federalist Society’s 2006 National Lawyers Convention.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Society, here’s a blurb about them from their […]
