Lawyerly Lairs: It's Still Good to be Noah and Jeannie

Noah Feldman Noah R Feldman Jeannie Suk Jeannie C Suk Above the Law.JPGWe have, on multiple occasions, shot envious glares in the direction of celebrity law professors Noah Feldman and Jeannie Suk. They're brilliant; they're beautiful; they're members of the Elect (former Souter clerks).

What more could one ask for? We can think of only two things.

First, a one-word, neologistic nickname. From this point forward, Noah Feldman and Jeannie Suk will be referred to in these pages as Noajeannie.

Second, a multimillion-dollar mansion. Oh wait -- they already have one. From an article by Anna Schneider-Mayerson in the New York Observer:*

If Mr. Feldman’s announcement [of his move from NYU to Harvard Law School] is only two weeks old, it’s not because he’s immune to the charms of Harvard Square.

The Middlesex South Registry of Deeds lists Noah Feldman and Jeannie Suk as the buyers of a house in Cambridge for $2.8 million. According to city records, the 1873 Victorian home has a pool, nine bedrooms and five fireplaces.

An antique home with a swimming pool -- and nine bedrooms? This is a rare find.

Not many legal academics can afford a $3 million house. But then again, not many legal academics are Noajeannie.

Update: Actually, we're going to let you vote on the best nickname for Noah and Jeannie. To access the poll, click here.

P.S. If you have pictures or information about Noajeannie's new Cambridge home or their fabulous New York apartment, please send it our way.

* We realize the Observer piece is a little old. It came out during the dead period between Christmas and New Year's, which is why we missed it. But we're glad we found it, since it's full of juicy tidbits. Read it in its entirety here.

"Noajeannie" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Why not "Jeannoah" (gee-NO-ah)?

Remember that, with Massachusetts home prices being what they are, a $2.8 million home in Cambridge could be a fixer-upper...albeit a large one with a pool.

Upon conducting further research, I retract my previous statement.

72 Sparks Street appears to be their new home.

Pool party at the FeldSuk's anyone.
