ATL Reader Poll: What Should Aaron Charney Do Next?

Aaron Charney solo firm headshot Aaron B Charney Aaron Brett Charney Above the Law ATL.JPGIn response to yesterday's post about Aaron Charney's fabulous new apartment, two comments were made that caught our eye:

"Looks like Charney is going to default both on his complaint and his mortgage. Plus there's no way he gets $820k for his condo in this market when he has to sell it. I'd say poor kid, but he brought it on himself."

"Maybe Charney can sell the movie rights to his story or something now, since a multimillion dollar settlement ain't happening. Alas, that movie has already been done ('Philadelphia'). Oh well, there's always Playgirl magazine, I'm sure they'd be happy to have him pose."

This got us thinking: What should Aaron Charney do next?

Time for an ATL reader poll:


We've left an "Other" option in case any of you have suggestions for Aaron Charney's future. Please place them in the comments. Depending upon the vote tallies, we may then hold a run-off, between the most popular of the existing options and/or the best new options that you suggest. Thanks!

Update: We dislike the idea of dignifying this with a response, but we assure you: We are NOT Loyola 2L.

he should go in house with a corporation running their M&A Department. NYC has plenty of such outfits. He could make as much if not more money doing the same thing,

Lat - I am delighted you have chosen to publicly mock Loyola 2L. All the other options seem to disappear in light of this.

Lat is Loyola 2L.

I second that. I am beginning to think the same thing.

What are the chances I can get a summar position? I got scammed into going to a crappy Tier 2 school. After I pay $100,000 for this worthless degree, I don't know what I will do.

If Lat takes my summer job at McPersonalInjurylawyers I will be so upset.

Charney should tutor Loyola 2L, and help Loyola 2L get a job at S&C.

Charney could totally find a sugardaddy at that creepy bar on the Upper East Side. Its name escapes me right now but it's full of rich old gays who want to shag a young hottie and are willing to buy him shiny things for the privilege of doing so. Not that I know from experience or anything . . .

P.S. Lat could totally clean up at the bar. A lot of the old men have a thing for gasians.

Loyola 2l -- The good news is that you will be hired by a law firm this summer--its carpet won't shampoo itself.

3:14: TownHouse. Nice try pretending you didn't know the name!

We don't have enough info about how high n tite Charney's caboose is to make him "daddy-worthy"

Townhouse -- that's it. Honestly I've never been but I have a number of friends who have and were totally creeped out by the whole scene. If Aaron's pictures are a reasonably good likeness he could totally make his mortgage payments with weekly visits to Townhouse.

Why do the fake Loyola 2Ls insert spelling mistakes into their posts? Is that some new way to mock us unemployed Tier 2 grads?

Doesn't anyone think that S&C is going to try to get ABC disbarred in order to completely bury him---not only in court but in life as well?

Lat -

Are you gay, or just gay-friendly?

avatar
17 Posted by guest | Permalink Thursday, February 15, 2007 3:34 PM

Townhouse, aka "Clownhouse."

Also, 3:14, shouldn't it be "Gaysians" rather than "Gasians"?

Loyola 3L,
Where are you working when you graduate? Too many 3Ls are walking around Sonia's Cocina like down and out losers as graduation nears. What's funny is they all network with me. They all tell me their job hunt woes and how they're looking. Like I can help. lol.
So did you have any luck?

Lat is gay. See his Friendster profile. It has a shirtless pic. As we all know, a shirtless pic on one's Friendster profile is overwhelming evidence of homosexuality.

Totally. Plus, he's got the requisite doting uncle pic.

Wow, the friendster profile is pretty good evidence that Lat is gay--He lists Moulin Rouge as a favorite movie. Need we say more?

Loyola 2L for President!!!......of the Unemployed Tier 2 Whiners Club.

S&C is definitely putting its reputation at stake even further here.

Loyola2L: we should all help you find a job!

ABC should hire Willie Gary to represent him. . .

I'm thinking Charney will ride out the notariety for a while, then take some bullshit job in PR - this is nyc after all - and isn't that what the gay boyscout did?

The gay boyscout was much hotter than Aaron Charney. And he was all rugged and whatnot, being a boyscout and all.

He should go the McGreevy route: sugar daddy and tell all book.

David lat you are a genius. Charney's big complaint, after all, is that S&C blocked him from mentoring summer associates. Loyola2L's big complaint is that he doesn't have anyone to mentor him.

Put these two clusterfucks together and you have a match made in heaven.

David, you are aware that somewhere as I type, Loyola 2 L is furiously masturbating to the excitement of all the attention he is getting, no?

In all seriousness, he SHOULD write a book. Krautheimer looks like one sour nutjob. What kind of fucker POSES FOR HIS LAWFIRM PORTRAIT looking like he's got an acorn up his ass?

avatar
33 Posted by Loyola 2L | Permalink Thursday, February 15, 2007 7:25 PM

Loyola 2L isn't just one person anymore. He's the tier 2 loser in all of us.

For some he's the person we could have turned into had we not studied hard and gone to the right school. For us he affirms our life choices. He affirms our decision to pull allnighters and obsess over our professors’ every word.

For others he's the embodiment of their disappointments. His posts give voice to the sadness they feel when they mourn their failures and biglaw rejections.

Loyola 2L @7:25

You make it sound so binary....some of us partied all the time...barely studied....never outlined....didnt go to class and still did fairly well and got a biglaw job. There are some of us in the middle. I dont know if Fordham is considered Tier 1 or what not but if youre not in the top third of the class you might as well have gone to the tier 2 or tier 3 school that offered the scholarship and cut your losses.

Aaron Charney is that rare, bright lawyer -- a truly principled man. A hero. What should he do in the future? Marry me -- in *Canada*, with or without the 15 million.
