Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 5.31: Canon-Baller
We were dying to write about this wedding announcement, featuring a slutty Strawberry Shortcake costume (WTF?) and a wacky/tacky proposal story. But alas, commenters would have crucified us for elevating comedic potential over excellence. So behold, this week’s finalists. They include five Harvard degrees, five Yale degrees, and OMGOMGOMG the best Article III officiant ever. […] - Sponsored

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch: Couple of the Month for April
It’s time for readers to choose the Legal Eagle Wedding Watch’s Mr. and Mrs. April 2009. Will it be the couple with four Penn degrees, the spunky HLS grads, or the silver-haired former ambassador and his Bushie bride? Keep in mind that when you vote, you’ll be helping to determine which couple will be eligible […]

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 4.26: Irish I-Dos
There are certain phrases you don’t expect to encounter in the same wedding announcement. “U2’s The Edge” and “associate counsel to President George W. Bush” probably fit that bill. And yet one of this week’s weddings manages just that curious alchemy, and more. Here are this week’s finalists: 1. Robyn Neblett and Jermaine Fanfair 2. […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 3.15: The Brides of March
It’s NCAA Tournament time, which means that if you get married this weekend or the next two, your guests will be cursing you as they surreptitiously refresh their BlackBerries. We therefore applaud this week’s brides, who planned their weddings for this past weekend, before the madness struck. They are — if we may say so […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 3.8: Upper Register
Just two lawyer weddings show up on the Legal Eagle Wedding Watch this week, but both are vigorous, Ivy-licious contenders. There’s even a juicy clerkship in the mix to herald the approach of spring! Here are our finalists: 1. Allison Podell and Bradley Saft 2. Dina Mishra and Benjamin Shultz More about these couples’ qualifications, […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 12.21-1.4: Winter Thrill
The winter wedding announcements are often a prestige wasteland, but we’re actually quite pleased with the caliber of the couples we’ve been able to round up for the first 2009 edition of Legal Eagle Wedding Watch (which admittedly includes some entries from late 2008). Here are your contestant couples: 1. Bella Sewall and David Wolitz […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 11.30: Softball Diamond
After another craptasticical week for lawyerdom, here’s your weekly dose of wedding cheer. Unfortunately, like many of the firms we cover on ATL, LEWW has been forced to make some difficult decisions. We had to show one set of newlyweds the door–entirely for performance-related reasons, of course, because LEWW doesn’t do layoffs. Here are the […] - Sponsored

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 9.14: Brief Interlude
What did you miss if you didn’t peruse last Sunday’s NYT weddings section? The marriage of Theodore Roosevelt V, for starters. Also, a whole lot of gayness! We counted seven same-sex weddings on this week’s list, which we suspect is a an all-time high. (And how sociologically interesting that all seven were men marrying men!) […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 9.7: No Ordinary Love
For the commenters who yearn to see more “ordinary” couples in the Legal Eagle Wedding Watch, we commend this pair to your attention. The groom is a radio personality, and the bride has a JD from Loyola. They seem likable and . . . ordinary. Is this the type of couple our readership craves? Should […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 8.24: Herb-al Essence
As we expected, celebrity professors Cass Sunstein and Samatha Power were the winners of last week’s July Couple of the Month voting, running away with over 60 percent of the vote. Congratulations to this nerdy-hot duo! This week’s set of contestants might be the strongest we’ve seen this season. Their write-ups feature five Harvard degrees, […] -

The Real Reason Cass Sunstein's Going to Harvard? He's Got the Power
We greatly enjoyed our recent visit to the University of Chicago Law School. The U. Chicago students were very welcoming and made us feel right at home, even inviting us to their law school musical — which, by the way, was delightful. (We added many of them as friends on Facebook before we were mysteriously […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 10.14 and 10.21: Plantation, All I Ever Wanted
A brief tour of things we don’t have room to explore in this double edition of LEWW: – This bride is foxy and forty-eight; this bride is twenty-six and hyper-annoying. – Some MoFo lesbians have made a match of it. – Graduating cum laude from Harvard wins you admission to a tier-4 law school. But […]

Happily-Not-A-Lawyer of the Day: Joshua Redman
As Clarence Darrow once said, “Inside every lawyer is the wreck of a poet.” Indeed, many lawyers harbor frustrated creative ambitions. Sure, they went to law school, and now they’re out practicing. But they could have been novelists, or painters, or pastry chefs. Or successful jazz musicians. From NJ.com: Joshua Redman is quite the brainy […] -
