Jerry Sandusky's Lawyer Also Likes Them Young?
It appears that Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State defensive coordinator who is accused of having sex with little boys, has hired an attorney. You'd think that out of all the attorneys in the world, Sandusky would pick one who had an untarnished record when it comes to sleeping with minors. But you'd be wrong. Instead, Sandusky went the other way. He didn't find a lawyer who just slept with a minor, he found one who reportedly impregnated one.... -

Joe Paterno Better Lawyer Up
If they hanged Joe Paterno from a tree and gave little boys a bat and said "whack that man like a piñata," it probably wouldn't hurt as much as what's actually about to happen to JoePa. Obviously, we don't yet have all the facts. But just looking at the Grand Jury report should tell you that civil actions are coming.... - Sponsored

This Domineering Woman Apparently Can't Take a Professional Spanking
About a month ago, we brought you the story of Alisha Smith, an assistant attorney general from New York who was suspended for allegedly moonlighting as a dominatrix. However, we now have news that our lascivious ligatrix can dish it out, but isn't exactly a fan of taking it. Although whips and chains may excite her, being on the receiving end of a professional spanking just isn't as erotic....

But which one? Apparently, our readers like it rough. But not too rough. Take a look at September’s Lawyer […] -

Lawyer of the Month: September Reader Poll
Our candidates for the coveted Lawyer of the Month title have been a bit tame for the past few months. This time around, we’ve chosen some lawyers and law students who represent our more prurient interests and our unabashed love for scandal. Aficionados of hookers? We’ve got ’em. Vicious tongue lashings? We’ve got those, too. […] -

Miami Criminal Law Professor Accused of Prostitution-Related Offense -- Again
In October 2007, Professor D. Marvin Jones of the University of Miami School of Law was hit with a misdemeanor charge of soliciting a prostitute. We found it interesting that a criminal procedure professor was charged with, well, violating the criminal law. We bestowed Lawyer of the Day honors upon Professor Jones. Well, it seems that Professor Jones is back. Multiple University of Miami law school sources have alerted us to a new charge against him.... - Sponsored

Lawsuit of the Day: Is Pink a Color in the Rainbow Coalition?
We’re a little bit late on the draw with the harassment suit filed against Jesse Jackson on Tuesday. We wanted to see the complaint, and at first, the headline “Gay Guy Wishes Black People Weren’t Such D***s to Gays” seemed underwhelming. We all noticed the strange tendency of some otherwise liberal African-American civil rights leaders […] -

Bad News for a Chicago-Area Lawyer Accused of Murder for Hire
Last month, federal law enforcement officials accused an Illinois attorney from a small firm, Jason W. Smiekel, of trying to put a hit out on a former client -- who also happened to be the ex-husband of Smiekel’s fiancée. Alas, if they are in love, their love may have to wait, thanks to the latest bad news for Smiekel.... -

Lawyer of the Day: Is This Manhattan Assistant AG Turning It Around On Them Like a Woman Who Puts On A...?
In our sexually repressed society, we just love it when "normal" people are exposed to have kinky sex lives. The bigger the disparity between the person's "regular" daytime pursuits and their nighttime shenanigans, the better. And while we know better here at Above the Law, the outside world tends to think "lawyer" is about as conservative a day job as possible. It's a profession of discretion. So when the New York Post found a lawyer, a government lawyer no less, who gets paid to be a dominatrix on the side, it was going to be big news.... -

Putting the 'French' in 'Kiss': Man Sued By Ex-Wife Over Lack of Sex
Apparently the French aren't such great lovers anymore. A 2010 poll found that 76% of people surveyed were having relationship problems due to a poor sex life. And it seems that a poor sex life was what brought about a divorce between Jean-Louis B. and Monique, a middle-aged French couple. But after enduring 21 years of a near sexless marriage, a divorce was simply not enough. Mrs. B. wanted to be compensated for the lack of sexual rendezvous with her ex-husband, so she sued him for it.... -

Cheating Wife? Don't Just Get Mad, Get Even (Then Watch Her Get Disbarred)
If someone cheats, don't get mad, get even. A lawyer in Texas shared our point of view on cheating, but he got mad and apparently took the "getting even" part a little bit too far. In the end, while he might have been $155,000 richer, his law license was indefinitely suspended, and his wife was recently disbarred. How did this all come to pass? And why did she get disbarred, not her husband? -
