Above the Law - Thinking Like a Lawyer : Yes, You Still Need To Check Your Zoom Name Before Logging In May 19, 2021

Show notes

Joe and Kathryn discuss the latest legal Zoom fail as a defendant flirts with contempt after his sister changed his Zoom moniker to some sort of sci-fi sex machine. The pair also talk about Ropes & Gray's decision to transition to a four-day office work week and the latest insulting, dubious rant from the National Conference of Bar Examiners declaring that poor test results for minority applicants is... probably because minorities aren't cut out to be lawyers in the first place. Yikes!

Above the Law - Thinking Like a Lawyer : Law School Professor Just Won't Stop Begging To Use Racial Slurs May 12, 2021

Show notes

Eugene Volokh used his blog to whine some more about how his constant demands to be respected for throwing around racial epithets in class keep getting him clowned. This time he tries to pull a "gotcha" that two years ago, a single Above the Law article had an unedited slur in a block quote... which is so unhelpful to his argument that you have to wonder if he's suffered a concussion or something. We also talk about Judge Lynn Hughes finding himself the subject of another benchslap and revisit the old Above the Law story that has taken center stage in the Philadelphia DA race.
