University of Michigan Law Student Should Have Come to ATL First
I know a lot of readers think we have an ax to grind with the University of Michigan Law School (even though we take pot shots at Head Coach Sweater Vest at every opportunity). We like Michigan.

Lawyer of the Day: Tampa Attorney Fails To Get Ahead
Attorney Kevin Napper got busted in a Tampa prostitution sting. It wasn’t a Spitzer-esque high-end call girl thing.

He rolled up to the undercover officer rocking a gold […] -
