Lawyer of the Month: Lots Of Things Mistrials Can Win You
April’s Lawyer of the Month victor won in a landslide. He’s also the first person to win the contest for his practice of law (as opposed to his death or his desire to quit the practice of law). Yes, I think I speak for all legal bloggers out there by wishing April’s Lawyer of the […]
Lawyer of the Month: April Reader Poll
We’re a little bit late with April’s lawyer of the month reader poll. First of all, we’ve been doing a lot of reader voting so far in this month. (There are still a few hours for you to vote in our Law Revue Video Contest.) The other reason why we’re a bit delinquent this month […]

The Rundown: This Week in Legal Technology – 11.19.10
This week — in between tweeting some really funny stuff (such as how I want to blow up airports — it was so funny!), buying up every last can of Four Loko that I could get my hands on, and forwarding Skadden employee evaluations to all of my friends — I spent the rest of […]
Turns Out Touro Is Even <strike>Crappier</strike> More Troubled Than We Thought
We don’t cover Touro Law School a lot on these pages because frankly it would just be mean. The school, located in New York, is ranked fourth tier by U.S. News, and that’s probably generous. The school charges $40,000 a year which is just… I mean… Well, “crime, boy I don’t know.” Its reputation just […]
