Andrew Gardner, Biglaw, Deaths, Rape, Sex
Fried Frank Partner, Accused of Rape, Found Dead
One of you drew our attention to this item, which is gossipy and engrossing, but not terribly humorous. Suicide and rape (or allegations thereof) don’t lend themselves well to laughs. From New York Magazine: “It’s bizarre, unfortunate,” Steve Coleman, an Atlanta police officer, was saying about New York attorney Andrew Gardner (at right). Gardner, 39, […]

Ex-Judge of the Day: Glenn Staege
We worship federal judges — for their brilliance, their probity, and their service to our nation. We have a somewhat lower opinion of state court judges. Many state judges are talented and dedicated public servants (and some of them later serve on the federal bench). But some of them are like the Not-So-Honorable Glenn Staege: […] -

Canada to U.S.: Please Send Your Pervs to Mexico
Okay, they didn’t quite say that. But they might as well have. A quick update on a story we previously wrote about: An American schoolteacher sentenced to three years’ probation — to be served in Canada — [was] detained at the border, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day has confirmed. Malcolm Watson, who was convicted of […] -

One of you was kind enough to attend a recent Ninth Circuit sitting — not just any old sitting, but the one graced by […] -

Because Canada Is Suffering from a Pervert Shortage
We’re all in favor of innovation in criminal sentencing. But this struck us as a little weird: After a judge convicted him of sexually abusing a 15-year-old student, teacher Malcolm Watson was offered two punishment options: an American jail cell or exile to Canada. Mr. Watson chose Canada. The unusual sentence, which has immigration lawyers […] -

From the Fox News homepage: And he liked it, too. (Yes, this is a slight digression from hard-core law; but the Mark Foley story does have a legal angle. The claim that Foley may have been molested by a clergyman was made by Foley’s civil lawyer, Gerald Richman. Furthermore, law enforcement authorities in Florida have […]

The Duke Rape Case: The DNA Evidence
The Duke lacrosse team rape case doesn’t seem like great ATL fodder. If the accuser is telling the truth, a brutal and horrific rape took place. If the three defendants are telling the truth, three young men’s lives have been ruined, for a crime they did not commit. But the story is all over the […] -

Hey Brother, Do You Ever Get That "Not So Fresh Feeling"?
Yeah, we know, the law is what’s on the books — not what judges feel like it should be. So we don’t take issue with the New Jersey Supreme Court’s recent sex offender registration decision as a legal matter. But we do question the case’s outcome as a policy matter.
