Is Lat too hungover to post today?
Is Billy better at holding his liquor or is he not invited out?

Love the mail order bride ad in the Mysore article!

Mysore sounds like an oddly appropriate for document review, if only because of its name...

Hey BigLaw when your document review work gets outsourced and you burn through your four months severance pay, just remember you said you wouldn't get caught dead doing my work, and don't go and try to compete with me.

Wow, Baltimore to lawyers-for-secretaries!

"Real Lawyer Guy,"
We never said we wouldn't get caught dead doing your work. We only said we wouldn't get caught dead making your salary, (and that, I am not too worried about).

The legal sec'y plaintiff in the McGuire Woods case is a lawyer? I'm confused. How many lawyers work as secretaries?
"Adair, a lawyer by training, worked as a solo practitioner and a secretary at Whiteford Taylor & Preston LLP before joining McGuireWoods in 1997."

Secretary, paralegal, associate....at MW they all get paid (and treated) the same.

No coverage of the ABA protest march at the SCOTUS?

Probably he was a secretary before law school and then a solo practitioner immediately prior to joining McGuire Woods.

Oh, nevermind... I thought she was an associate at MW. That makes no sense then.
