Porn at Work: Law Professor Edition
I’m an adjunct professor. I teach online courses. That means that it’s not unusual for me to send email to students late at night, or post links to interesting articles right in my business law course. Thanks to the inattentiveness of a fellow professor, I now triple check every email and every link before hitting…

Lawyers Behaving Badly: Jailhouse Edition
Most criminal defendants, in my experience, welcome the opportunity to leave their jail cells – if only for a brief respite from the boredom, the smell and even the company. And who knows – any trip outside the cell could net an unexpected chance at escape. But Vidalia, Georgia attorney Wilson Smith isn’t like most…
Offensive Emails: Pennsylvania Supreme Court Nominee Edition
