In dinosaur times, a company called Memorex, which started as a computer tape company in the 1960s, had a commercial that dinosaur lawyers will probably remember to this day. The commercial featured Ella Fitzgerald, and if you don’t know who she is, shame on you. Check out some of her recordings on YouTube. There’s never […]
(Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images) Ed. note: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day. Seeing that growth in compensation in such a large amount, on average, shows supply and demand forces in the market. Associates are highly sought after especially in the upper end of the market. There have been some really key […]
When Above the Law usually talks about a group of over 2,000+ lawyers getting together to show support, it usually means that some big name went above and beyond for bonus season. This time, there’s more gravitas than money at stake. The ABA recently took a stand denonucing several members of the Executive branch’s comments […]
It’s been a whirlwind week for the SCOTUSblog co-founder: arrested on Monday, banished to federal lockup on Tuesday, and now free on Thursday. Goldstein, the Supreme Court litigator charged with a number of tax and fraud claims stemming from an alleged second life as a high-stakes poker fiend, will resume his prior scheduled release with […]

But reporting from Pro Publica reveals it’s not just edgelords at DOGE, the pseudo-agency has also […]

Gen Z may actually be breaking that proud tradition. Or at least some representatives of the latest […]
William & Mary Law School just made a pretty big mistake when it comes to admissions for its incoming class of law students. Earlier this week, more than 400 people who had applied to W&M received the exciting news that they’d been accepted to the Top 50 law school. Unfortunately the excitement didn’t last too […]
Let’s face it. It probably does. Control is an illusion. For in-house lawyers, the legal landscape has always been unpredictable. But today, that unpredictability feels more like a wildfire — spreading rapidly, jumping across boundaries, and consuming everything in its path. Regulations are pulled, economic conditions change, and business expectations shift overnight. It’s easy to […]
Welcome back again, professor! As ridiculous as this law school professor censorship saga has been, it is a much better beat that following up on every time Amy Wax gets in trouble for saying stuff in class that could be mistaken for Kanye Twitter rants. But even good things must come to an end — […]
