Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 10.7.07: Sweet Virginia
We had a tough time picking our finalist couples this week, and LEWW will be the first to admit that we’re not totally certain we chose the right three. (We’re sure our commenters and e-mailers will let us know if we’ve dropped the ball.) Specifically, in addition to our three finalists, we considered these three […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 9.30.07: Shall We Dance?
Warmest congratulations to our friends Junko Ozao and Jason Choy, whose lovely wedding was written up in this week’s Vows column. Jason is an associate at Kirkland & Ellis, but Junko is a normal person, and that shortcoming cost them a spot in this week’s Legal Eagle Wedding Watch. The news will likely ruin their […]

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 9.16.07 and 9.23.07
So LEWW was at a wedding the other weekend, and who should plunk down next to us but a reporter for the NYT Vows section! It was a deeply emotional, humbling experience — like being face-to-face with Gandhi, or Bono — but after we recovered, we waved our ATL press credentials and had a nice […] -

Law Students Get No Love from the Bachelor
No wonder the producers of The Bachelor are so eager to have a lawyer as the Bachelor. With their impressive educational pedigrees and generally high incomes — even non-top-tier law grads earn more than the average American — lawyers are a desirable demographic. And relying upon the contestants to keep lawyers watching might not be […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch: August's Couple of the Month
Who says lawyers aren’t romantic? In this month’s Couple of the Month voting, an adorable tale of enduring teenage love won convincingly over a SCOTUS clerk, a lesbian couple, and a United States Congressman. Congratulations to newlyweds (and Redskins fans) Shauna Burgess and Jonathan Friedman as they enter their second decade of couple-hood! Earlier: Legal […] -

We apologize for the tardiness of this edition of LEWW.

But fear not — the nuptial machine grinds on, and we have three impressive […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch: Smart Alex
We’re bummed that we can’t write this week about the groom who arranges music for Yo-Yo Ma and Jay-Z. Or the one who’s associate counsel for the NBA. But lawyer-lawyer couples abound, and we know those are the pairings ATL readers crave. Here are our finalists: 1. Lisa Kutlin and Alexander Goldenberg 2. Shauna Burgess […] -

LEWW offers a seven-gun salute to newlyweds Zina Gelman and John Bash III, who scored a convincing victory in our July Couple of the Month vote.

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch: Vote for July's Couple of the Month!
Here it is: the breathlessly anticipated SCOTUS Smackdown! To be precise, we should note that not all of our July couples featured a Supreme Court clerk. But Gelman-Bash (Scalia), Ingber-Metlitsky (Roberts), and Bernstein-Foster (Kennedy) are all Elect-able pairings. We can’t wait to see who gets to strut around One First Street with ATL’s coveted Couple […] -

Legal Eagle Wedding Watch 7.29.07: Un-Electable
This week LEWW comes down from our recent SCOTUS-fueled three-week prestige bender and faces a column without a coupling of the Elect.
