Where Do Broken Hearts Go?
To San Francisco, apparently, to clerk on the Ninth Circuit. We hope that the author of this email is clerking for one of court’s slave-driver judges. He needs to be kept busy, so he won’t have time for any more literary endeavors. “Pleaded” or “pled” may be a matter of personal preference. But turns of […] -

This Won't Help the Reputation of Trial Lawyers
Last week, our friends over at the WSJ Law Blog asked: “Why do ‘trial lawyers’ have such a bad name?” One possible answer: Because they abandon their brides at the altar. From the Miami Herald: Walk-away groom: Jim Ferraro, multimillionaire trial lawyer. Ferraro, set to marry prominent real estate broker Patricia Delinois on Friday in […] - Sponsored

As we mentioned in our earlier post about Kumari Fulbright, the former beauty queen and current law student indicted on charges of kidnapping her ex-boyfriend, we poked her today on Facebook.

Justice O'Connor's Bizarre Love Triangle Ailing Husband(And an ATL Special Report on Her Columbia Law School Visit)
Back in July 2005, shortly after Justice Sandra Day O’Connor announced her resignation from the Supreme Court, Professor Orin Kerr wrote an L.A.

We just caught the second half of I Love New York 2 (previously discussed here and here). Wow. Even by the debased standards of reality television, the show couldn’t be any more trashy.

Law Students Get No Love from the Bachelor
No wonder the producers of The Bachelor are so eager to have a lawyer as the Bachelor. With their impressive educational pedigrees and generally high incomes — even non-top-tier law grads earn more than the average American — lawyers are a desirable demographic. And relying upon the contestants to keep lawyers watching might not be […] -

A Solution to the Federal Judicial Pay Crisis: Marry Into Money
