Zappos Suffers a Data Breach, and the Other Shoe Drops with a Lawsuit
On Monday, my roommate came home griping that his Zappos.com account, which he had not used in a year, had been hacked. Instead of feeling sympathetic, I started wondering how I might write about it. Data breaches are a dime a dozen these days. It seems almost every company loses control of their customers’ sensitive […] -

A Message from Career Services: Ladies, Please Learn How to Dress Yourselves
We thought that we had gotten the point across on this in October: ladies, if you dress like hookers, the only jobs you'll get will be underneath a partner's desk. But apparently that message fell on deaf ears, because one law school's Career & Professional Development Office had to co-sponsor an event with the school's Women Law Students Association on how to properly dress for an interview.... -
