See Also: Lawyers Do The Dumbest Things

Ed. note: “See Also” is a new column we’ll be running in place of Non-Sequiturs. It’s going to be an evening ATL Digest for people who missed some of our content earlier in the day. We Can Spend All Day Reading Disciplinary Findings Do these ever cease to amaze? No, no they do not. Whether it's a klepto judge or an attorney calling in bomb threats, a quick perusal of the latest disciplinary actions will make you feel better about your professional judgment. That said, you still should delete that Instagram post you captioned, "Buy Globochem tomorrow before 11. But shhh.... it's our little secret. ;-)" Read all about it... Maybe We Don't Let This Guy Do Interviews Next Year? When I was in law school, a partner at a certain Biglaw firm asked a friend of mine who'd gone to Yale undergrad why he was attending NYU for law school. "I went to Yale undergrad and Yale Law School!" this jerk proclaimed. My friend looked at him and said, slowly, "I don't know... why don't you work at Cravath?" That concluded the interview. The firm shouldn't have sent that guy out on interviews. The firm in this story also needs to reconsider their interview roster. Real all about it... You'd Have To Have Permanent Brain Damage To Negotiate This Deal Speaking of dumb things lawyers do, let's have a round of applause for the NFLPA, making yet another effort to challenge the draconian league disciplinary system that they willingly agreed to in the last CBA. Read all about it... Protecting The Profession Over The Client The client is supposed to come first, and yet states are so hell-bent on protecting their parochial guild they make rules that can put clients in a bad spot. As Harvey leaves a desperate need for competent representation in its wake, this is your gentle reminder that the state bar makes out-of-state attorneys jump through hoops to lend a hand. Read all about it... One Brave Soul Breaks From The Pack While there may be a lot of dumb lawyers, one smart legal move comes courtesy of Professor Brian Fitzpatrick, who shuns the conventional wisdom of his fellow conservatives and makes a compelling case for class actions. Sadly, he'll probably be purged at the next FedSoc inquisition. Read all about it...
