What's our favorite law school? Not Harvard, not Yale -- at least not for blogging purposes. When it comes to generating ATL material, the University of Miami School of Law tops the rankings.

We previously addressed the U. Miami Law community as follows:

Thanks to your many mentions in these pages -- in addition to this YouTube gem [a musical modeling montage by a current student], you've also given us an allegedly prostitute-soliciting professor; a train wreck of a People's Court appearance, featuring a saucy current student and an even more saucy former professor; and UM alumna Oona O'Connell, now prominently featured on a site called Girls and Guns (look under the "Girls" tab) -- you've been granted your very own ATL category tag. Congratulations!

And now we have another post to file under that tag...

It seems that Oona O'Connell : University of Miami :: Felix Frankfurter : Harvard Law School. Perhaps due to its tropical location, UM is apparently populated by more aspiring models than future lawyers.

First we brought you this would-be model, a current UM law student. And now we introduce you to "Jessica" (at right), a red-headed stunner who is currently a 1L at Miami. Check out the video clip below, "Bikini Pool," in which Jessica and several other bikini-clad women shoot pool -- to wit, "a hot, sexy game of Cutthroat."

Correction: Jessica is not an "aspiring" model, she IS a model. She was on national contracts for both modeling and acting for two years before deciding to attend law school. Very impressive! How many law school students can make such a claim?

[Warnings: (1) As you might expect from a video clip entitled "Bikini Pool," it features women in bikinis. Don't play it if you're in a location where such a sight might be deemed inappropriate. (2) This video features loud music. Turn off your speakers if necessary.]

Earlier: Prior ATL coverage of the University of Miami School of Law (scroll down)

We've written a fair amount about D. Marvin Jones, the University of Miami law professor who has been accused of soliciting an undercover officer for sex. He allegedly offered her a tantalizing $20 for her services.

But a picture is worth a thousand words. And a picture is what's been making the rounds among UM students and alumni, via email. The tipster who sent the graphic to us introduced it as follows:

I graduated from UM Law (embarrassing, I know).... [But] I actually have a job.

I hate UM. After [redacted] for undergrad, UM Law was a joke. I’m embarrassed that I went here.

Anyway, this pic is amazing. Please publish it. I don’t know where it came from, but it’s awesome.

Now, we realize that Professor Jones is a popular figure on the UM Law campus. We acknowledge that he merely stands accused of wrongdoing; he hasn't been convicted of anything. And we know that many ATL readers have rather delicate sensibilities, especially for the readers on an online legal tabloid. If you're highly sensitive to criticism of Professor Jones, or if you are easily offended, then please stop reading here.

But if you have no particular attachment to Professor Jones, and if you have a reasonably high tolerance for irreverent, crass, politically incorrect humor, then check out what lies after the jump.

As we first reported yesterday, Professor D. Marvin Jones, who teaches constitutional law and criminal procedure (!) at the University of Miami law school, has been arrested for solicitation of a prostitute. Here's an interesting tidbit, from Blogonaut:

Professor Jones is the author of Race, Sex, and Suspicion: The Myth of the Black Male. Dare we predict a racially based defense? Or perhaps the good professor was merely researching a new book?

Some of you asked for more details about the alleged conduct. We've gotten on our hands on the incident report, which appears below. Note the tension between (1) Professor Jones's pimpin' ride, a Mercedes SL500, and (2) his alleged offer of a mere $20 to the "undercover officer possing [sic] as a prostitute."

Law professors don't make as much as Biglaw partners. But surely the driver of a Mercedes could be a little more generous!

We just finished watching America's Next Top Model. So it's quite appropriate for us to pass along this modeling montage video, which is amusingly bizarre. From a tipster:

I hate to pile it on, but you have to check out this YouTube clip of a University of Miami 1L. It's a seven-minute clip of various glamour shots, set to the soothing sounds of flamenco guitar. I think my favorite photos involve her posing with a samurai sword.

We agree; nothing beats a samurai sword paired with fishnets. But the pics of her in a midriff-baring schoolgirl outfit, replete with pigtails, are also pretty great. As is the photo of her humping a white banister, which kicks off the whole thing.

You don't need to watch the entire video, since the shots start to repeat after a while, but stick around at least until "Hotel California." Enjoy!

Update (12:15 AM): Sigh. If you click on the video below, you'll see that it has been pulled. We seem to have the anti-Midas touch when it comes to law school videos: everything we link to gets yanked. See, e.g., here (Harvard) and here (Columbia).

A little bit more, after the jump.

Several commenters to our recent post about the University of Miami law student who got benchslapped on the People's Court pointed out another news development involving the law school: the recent arrest and arraignment of a popular professor, D. Marvin Jones, on a misdemeanor charge of soliciting a prostitute. See here:

Check out his bio (which rather pretentiously describes Professor Jones as a "public intellectual"). He teaches Criminal Procedure, of all things. If there's any technical defect in his arrest, we're sure the good professor will be able to get himself off.

Professor Jones: If you're looking to score some ass, why not stick to the U. Miami student body? At least they won't charge.

Alas, we don't have the dirty details of this incident. If you know more, please email us. Thanks.

This short video clip requires little introduction. Res ipsa loquitur. Just watch Judge Marilyn Milian, of The People's Court, benchslap a cute-but-insolent 2L from the University of Miami:

Today has been painfully slow, even for a Friday. Thankfully, we can always return to a subject that never fails to give a rise to our traffic: Oona O'Connell, the fabulously glamorous young lawyer who has graced the pages of Playboy.

Remember the ATL tipster who first informed us of Oona O'Connell? As you may recall, Ms. O'Connell was pretty pissed:

Oona O'Connell is my given name. It was the name my parents chose for me and I found it very hurtful to hear it described by your ignorant 'tipster' as coming from a 'porn-name generator'.

After reading our recent email correspondence with Oona O'Connell, the tipster felt bad -- and expressed his sentiments in an email.

Check out his message, after the jump.

Our email correspondence with the super-hot lawyer turned Playboy model, Oona O'Connell, continues.

A brief question-and-answer session, plus an uncropped version of this Oonalicious photo, after the jump.

There should be a law -- against this kind of hotness in a U.S. law school classroom!

As you may recall, lawyer cum Playboy model Oona O'Connell was not pleased by our prior coverage of her. She recently sent us an angry email, taking us to task for publishing malicious gossip.

Our response to Oona O'Connell, followed by her reply, after the jump.

WOW. Wouldn't sitting next to this hottie in Torts class be just a wee bit distracting?

We rarely hear from people about whom we've written. This is generally a good thing.

But every now and then, one of them drops us a line. And sometimes they're none too pleased. Like Oona O'Connell, the superhottie lawyer who posed for Playboy, as discussed back in this post.

You can read Ms. O'Connell's email, which we reprint with her permission, after the jump.

We've told you all about Adrienne, the Boston College law student who did a sexy swimsuit spread for a magazine. And we've been all over (hehe) Adriana, the Brooklyn Law School 3L who romped naked before the camera for Playboy TV.

But let's set the record straight. The phenomenon of law students taking it off for the camera is nothing new.

Well before Adrienne and Adriana, there was Oona O'Connell. From a tipster:

"A first year associate at my firm told me about this... He went to U. Miami and knew a fellow law student who posed for Playboy."

"Apparently, her name is Oona O'Connell (which could be either the name of her first pet or the street she lived on as a kid, if my porn-name generator is correct). She is a 3L at the University of Miami Law School, and she's also a Hawaiian Tropic model. Apparently she was in the May 2006 issue of Playboy, and she may shoot a 'feature' for an upcoming issue."

"The only female nudity at MY law school took place when the student ACLU girls went topless to protest a local nudity ordinance. They were not airbrushed. OY."
