Nine Notably Bitter Pardons

January 19, 2009 by Michael Estrin 10 Comments

It’s simple. Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time. At least that’s how we learned it back in 1L, and that’s how it works for most people who break the law. But at the end of every Presidency, we get a bitter reminder that some people don’t have to play by the…

From Proskauer to Popsquire

January 9, 2009 by Michael Estrin 16 Comments

BigLaw Faces Grade-less JDs

December 11, 2008 by Michael Estrin 32 Comments

Will BigLaw embrace grade-less, high-pedigree JDs? Class rank is everything. It separates the future scholars from the posers; the potential Big Firm Partners from the 9-to-5 government slackers.
