Desperately Seeking Michael: Help This Girl Find Her Missed Connection at BU Law!
During the fallout of the Pats losing the Super Bowl, a girl and a boy met by chance while attempting to catch a cab.

Open Thread: 2012 U.S. News Law School Rankings (16 - 30)
And now things get interesting. As we continue to run through the U.S. News 2012 law school rankings, we get to a crucial set of schools.

Facebook, Law Professors, Law Schools, LLMs, Rudeness
Here in the United States, if the professor ends class early, we do not complain.
And maybe that’s why we’re falling behind the rest of the world educationally. But at least we’re having fun, right?

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch: Spreading the Love
We’ve decided to tweak the format of Legal Eagle Wedding Watch a bit. Beginning today, we’ll be bringing you all the lawyer weddings featured in the New York Times.

What's Your Brand?
Karen Shapiro is a lawyer turned “life coach.” From what I understand, a “life coach” is essentially a therapist who helps you see happiness attainment like a basket that needs to be dunked on. Being called coach may or may not allow them to slap you on the ass when you get a promotion or […]
