Introducing… Nolo Doubt!
Lawyers love Twitter, and when a chance to put aside their work and flex their creative muscles arises, they quickly pounce on the opportunity. Earlier this week, lawyers and law students got together and dreamed up bands that only lawyers could love, and boy, did this nerd party trend quickly.
Behold, the #AppellateBandNames, #AppellateBandName, and #AppellateBands hashtags. We’ve selected a few that we thought were the funniest. Feel free to join in the fun with your own on Twitter.

Did anyone say Backstreet Boies? How about 98 Reasonable Degrees of Forensic Certainty? Please consider both of those 90s boy bands as my submissions.
