When You've Broken Over Five (5) Staplers By Throwing Them at Paralegals, It's Time To Get Help
Our big brother brings to our attention an interesting article, from New York magazine, about urban professionals and burnout. And no article on the subject would be complete without a discussion of Biglaw attorneys: An epidemic of malaise among bankers and lawyers is far more likely to inspire jokes—Wouldn’t it be nicer if it were […] -

Naked Prosecutor Gets Off -- For Now
Remember Scott Blauvelt, the former Ohio prosecutor who was charged with public indecency, for allegedly walking around his office in the nude? Time for an update: Charges of public indecency were dropped [last week] against an ex-city prosecutor because of a paperwork problem. But officials said they would re-file the case against Scott Blauvelt, who […] - Sponsored

Talk About a "Full Service" Law Firm
[Ed. note: This post is on the vulgar side. It’s a bit like Borat: funny to some, distasteful to others. If you’re a person of delicate sensibilities, please exercise discretion in deciding whether to read further. Thank you.] Last week we reported some top law firms involved in billion-dollar deals: Biglaw shops are involved in […]

ATL Poll Results: The Jiwani Ad Is HOTT
We can’t say we’re surprised. The readers of ATL probably have a higher-than-average tolerance for things that push the envelope (or the bounds of good taste). But for what they’re worth, here are the results of our most recent reader poll: Reader opinion is consistent with that of Dahlia Lithwick, who had this to say […] -

Sorry, Folks -- You'll Have To Settle for That Video of Britney Belching
After details of Britney Spears’s “airtight” prenuptial agreement were disclosed, revealing that her soon-to-be ex-husband, Kevin Federline, wouldn’t get much in the divorce, we began hearing this rumor: Fed-Ex will be a hero to stragglers everywhere, moreso even than Kato, in his leveraging: [Britney] made an air-tight prenup; he made a videotape of his adventures […] -

The Jiwani Ad: Hot or Rot?
Controversy has erupted up in Boston over whether it was appropriate for the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly to run this racy advertisement, for Jiwani, a maker of custom-tailored suits: Advertisements like this are a dime a dozen in Details and GQ. But in the more staid pages of a legal news publication, it drew a slew […] - Sponsored

Jeez, the terrorists really HAVE won. They’ve sucked all the fun out of flying: A couple’s ill-concealed sexual play aboard a Southwest Airlines flight from Los Angeles got them charged with violating the Patriot Act, intended for terrorist acts, and could land them in jail for 20 years.

Still More About Borat
On Friday night, we saw Borat at our local movie theater. We found it hilarious for the first fifteen minutes, before it turned repetitive. That said, there were some impressive set pieces in the second half of the film, such as the hotel room wrestling match. (We viewed Borat on the recommendation of one of […] -

Dewey Ballantine: "We'll Have What She's Having"
We often compare law firm mergers to weddings. And other folks do, too. So if law firm mergers are marriages, how do they get consummated? Enough about the wedding; what about the honeymoon? One ATL reader had some thoughts on the matter: Sorry to continue to batter you with sexual innuendo, but Law.com — which […] -
