Lawyer of the Day: Jennifer Blum
Is the complaining about the tough job market for graduates of non-elite law schools overblown? Take, for example, Western New England College School of Law. According to U.S. News, it's a tier 4 school. But when it comes to career success, its graduates are doing just fine, thank you very much.
Some WNEC alumni make partner at Sullivan & Cromwell. Others attain fortune and fame on television. From TortsProf Blog:
I admit to some hesitation in acknowledging watching American Gladiators, which is not by any rational measure a particularly good show. And yet there it sits on our TiVo, and yet we watch it. Such is the mystery of life, no? But today, I get to tie it in both to my law school and to Torts.Last night one of the contestants, Jennifer Blum, was identified as a New Jersey lawyer and a professional football player (she plays for the New York Sharks and is an all-time leading receiver). A quick search of our alumni database reveals that she's a 2002 graduate of Western New England College School of Law! Sources vary; I thought they said on the show that she's a criminal defense lawyer, but other sites indicate that she's a civil litigator. Maybe she reads this blog!
Or maybe this one. Hi Jen! If you'd be willing to be interviewed on ATL, please email us.
From her American Gladiators bio:
Jennifer Blum is a women’s football player who grew up sleeping with a football in her bed. When she was 9-years-old, she and her parents sued for her right to be on a boy’s soccer team — an event that was covered in the media nationwide. Always a tom-boy, never afraid to take a hit or hit back, she is ready to jump into the ring with the Gladiators. Blum, a civil litigation lawyer, is 34 years old and currently lives in Franklin Park, New Jersey.
Jen Blum sounds tough and tenacious. How did she fare on the show? Find out by reading Professor Bill Childs's full post (which also includes excerpts from the incredibly long waiver form that contestants must fill out).
Update: A tipster informs us that she used to work for the New Jersey Attorney General's Office. See picture at right.

Friggity first
That is interesting, but it must be a slow news day
Maybe she's on American Gladiators to win that $100k prize because she doesn't make jack for money coming out of such a TTT school.
She cheated running up the treadmill. She stepped to the left side of the track about halfway up.
I noticed for an "athlete" she had a huge spare tire yesterday. Also, her time in the Eliminator was pathetic.
That one white dude was a Hauss. He finished in 90 secs.
12:38,
If you are paid to jack for money, you are probably reading the wrong blog.
How did she do? Good thing her competitor gassed worse than her. Pathetic.
she only won because her competitor lost her shoes and thus had no traction on the treadmill. should have taken her socks off to compensate.
She also has a large penis.
She also said she was "feeling under the weather, because of being in the water so much" before the final course. Her time was pretty pathetic.

JT knows that he and anyone on this site - all 6'5" 7% body fat studs with 4.5 speed - could easily have destroyed any of the gladiators or the Eliminator.
Worng URL re Wolf Block. That Jen Blum went to Harvard, while this post says the Jen Blum on Gladiators went to another school
Any word what happened to the Atlanta office of Motley Rice? They just defected from Chitwood Harley two years ago and now they seem to have vanished. Where did they go?
brute.
HOT!!!
it's such bunk that if you win, you don't necessarily advance.
yeah, i know. she walked up the side of the travelator. they turned the travelator down once Venus' time went past. but, still. they should have kept it going, refereed, made the contenders fight for it, and let the winner of each prelim advance to the next round.

Anyone else ever play in the WNEC Law basketball tournament? It was fun.
She's cute.
And the release/waiver isn't as bad as the one that was used in "Kid Nation", which basically put the parents on notice that the kids could be molested, assaulted, or filmed in the bathroom (except if they were making doody) and if they were, all such claims would be released.
I don't blame CBS for putting out such a broad release - I blame the parents who signed that POS release just so their kids could get some airtime.
shes talented at picking roulette numbers, remember the 8-11 split baby..lol
@and..
I take it you are looking for one?
