You Know Your Law School Really Cares When You Get Holiday Cards Like This
You know that it's the holiday season when your inbox begins to fill up with holiday cards. Some are cute, some are clever, some are heartfelt, and some come from people and companies you don't even remember meeting or doing business with. So what happens when a law school sends out a holiday card, but completely botches it? -

One 2L's Innovative Approach to Job Hunting
A reader alerted us to the following Google ad, which showed up in a Gmail sidebar next to a law-related email chain. Whoa! Is this for real?

Best Way To Brag About An Offer: Now With Pictures
Last week, we told you the story about a University of Chicago Law School student who received an offer and found a charitable way of bragging about it to his friends. Our next installment of law student puffery involves photos, which is always fun. But in truth we can't be totally sure if this guy is bragging about getting an offer. Given the firm the kid is bragging about, he might just be happy to be there.... -

The Aftermath of the East Coast Earthquake of 2011
In the wake of the east coast earthquake of 2011, the legal world seems to be back to its regularly scheduled programming. Courts are back in session, law firms have reopened, and government agencies are fully functioning. We received a lot of tips from our readers about their earthquake experiences, but more importantly, we have the final results from our reader poll. We now know who we can blame for moving the earth and disrupting our day. And no, it wasn't Obama's Fault.... -

It's Hard Out Here for a Career Services Dean
The most important person in law school administration is the dean. That makes sense. He or she makes policy and is in charge of the academic and financial footing for the entire school. But who is the second most-important administrator? The dean of students? The head financial aid officer? I say that the second most-important […] -

Start Your Whining (Part 2): U.S. News Makes Law Schools Squirm All Across the Land
Yesterday we talked about a couple of schools that fell in this year’s U.S. News law school rankings, whose deans promptly devoted school-wide emails making excuses for their programs dropping. Predictably, they criticized U.S. News’s latest methodology, even though this year’s formula did a better job of focusing on factors law students actually care about […] - Sponsored

You know, I get it. It’s snowing. It sucks. Trust me, I hate it more than you.

And just like that, it’s December. Flurries fill the sky, Wham’s “Last Christmas” saturates the airwaves, and the list of weddings in the New York Times shortens dramatically.
