Celebrity law students

The holder of an LLM from NYU was just named Miss India. How beautiful must you be in order to rank #1 out of 600 million women?

One of Casey Anthony's lawyers suggests that Casey, having been exposed to the criminal justice system, might look into a legal career. We imagine what such a career might look like.

Last month, we asked: Who are this year's celebrity summer associates? Our next celebrity summer associate isn't super-famous in his own right (even though he's as good-looking as many a Hollywood actor). Instead, he derives his celebrity from a famous father. So who is he, and where does he work?

In recent years, major law firms have hosted famous figures as summer associates. This summer, sadly, the celebrity wattage seems to be considerably lower. Read on to get the scoop about a former co-star of Lindsay Lohan.

At this year’s Emory Law School commencement, Professor Sara Stadler urged graduates to think outside the box with respect to their career options: “You might not be able to land that [top-choice] job…. You might have to move to Nebraska.… You might have to join a small firm where they don’t make the big bucks.” […]

In a few months, Chelsy Davy, the on-again-off-again girlfriend of Prince Harry, will be starting as a trainee solicitor in the London office of Allen & Overy. The blonde beauty’s arrival at A&O will set tongues wagging, no doubt. Meanwhile, here in the States, summer associates are arriving at their law firms — and surely […]

Of course this happened. Of course Andrew Meyer, the University of Florida student who was famously tased during a John Kerry speech, ended up going to law school. Of course a law school looked at Meyer’s history of barely civil disobedience and resisting police and said, “Come on down.” And really, Meyer’s story isn’t even […]

This experience has been both profound and humbling. I have been able to reflect on my relationship with the universe and despite the physical incarceration of the past year, it has been incredibly emancipating for all other aspects of my being. Everything I have learned, seen, and lived I regard as invaluable in the journey […]

When we last discussed Kumari Fulbright, the Arizona beauty queen and law student turned felon, we mentioned that she was going to be sentenced in early 2011 for her role in the kidnapping and torture of her ex-boyfriend. Well, it looks like Christmas came early for Kumari — her sentencing hearing took place yesterday. Fulbright […]

Would you trade in being a pop star to be a legal rockstar? Last week, we wrote about So-eun Lee, a South Korean pop star who left behind her music career to attend Northwestern Law. We emailed with the now-2L to find out how she achieved pop stardom back in Seoul and whether it seems […]

We occasionally write about famous law school students here at Above the Law, such as Georgetown rising-3Ls Kaavya Viswanathan (aka the alleged Harvard plagiarist) and Top Model Sara Hallmark, and Southwestern 1L Jerry O’Connell (now on sabbatical). Sometimes, a law school is graced by the presence of a famous classmate and fellow students are completely […]

Supermodel Linda Evangelista famously quipped that she doesn’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day. Alas, not all models occupy such a privileged position. This summer, one model is getting out of bed for considerably less than $10,000 a day — to wit, about $3,000 a week. Sara Albert, who made it to the […]
