Along with London, New York is one of the great tabloid cities of the world. When we opened the door of our hotel room this morning, we were greeted by this sight: The news has been mentioned in a few places on ATL (e.g., comments, Morning Docket). But for those of you who haven’t been […]
Apparently the world is not yet ready for successful and strong professional women. Even if they are widely praised for their brilliance, work ethic, leadership, and communication abilities. And even if they balance their career successes, which might be threatening to some — e.g., chauvinist pigs — with “world-class” baking abilities. SIGH… Earlier: Monica Goodling: […]

There were a few salary-related comments appended to our administrative post from yesterday. E.g., these comments about McGuire Woods.

* Prom is dated–although one could argue that’s its charm–but here’s a tradition worth breaking. (Fret not, I’m not talking about this.) [Christian Science Monitor] * So those finely honed personal statements about being wronged or witnessing someone get wronged don’t count for jack?

Here’s the promised follow-up to our earlier post about Adriana Dominguez, the Brooklyn Law School 3L who has embarked upon a career as a Playboy TV stripper.

Here’s an interesting analysis of the underlying merits of the litigation over J. Howard Marshall’s estate. It contains some bome bad news for Anna Nicole Smith’s infant daughter, Dannielynn. From a Legal Times piece by Professor Horace Cooper (who narrowly missed being a colleague of Kiwi Camara, and probably isn’t unhappy about that): [T]here is […]
If so, then a reporter with a national newspaper would like to speak with you. Here’s the message: I want to write about the social pressures on summer associates. Specifically, I understand that at a time when firms are competing harder than ever for the best candidates, it’s ratcheted up an already intense party circuit […]
Yes, we know all about Adriana Dominguez, the third-year student at Brooklyn Law School with a penchant for taking her clothes off.
