When you think about the law, what words come to mind? Litigious? We’ll cover that this week. Scandalous? We’ve got that here, too. How about sexy? Well, maybe that’s not the first word that comes to mind when you think about the law, but believe it or not, we’ll even touch upon that. You can say a lot of things about this article, but don’t ever say that it’s boring.
What embodies the spirit of legal blogging more than debating the future of legal blogs? I can’t think of anything more to the point than that. This week Human Law [http://www.human-law.org/humanlaw/2007/01/the_spirited_de.html] addressed the hot topic: will the amount of lawyers who blog drastically increase in number in the near future? Only time can tell…but for my sake, I can only hope so; the more legal blogs there are out there, the more fun my job becomes!
If that’s not exciting enough for you, don’t worry, there’s far more scandalous stuff to discuss this week. For example, Above the Law [http://www.abovethelaw.com/2007/01/breaking_was_chief_justice_reh.php] covered the very juicy topic of whether former Chief Justice Rehnquist was addicted to painkillers. Reports claim that at one point, he was taking three times the prescribed dose of Placidyl. Even better, once while in the hospital, Rehnquist tried to escape in his pajamas. Somehow, I never pegged Rehnquist as the type to have these kinds of issues…Scalia maybe, but not Rehnquist. But we’ve got to hand it to him…for a guy who was that hopped up on painkillers, he really held it together on the bench.
Finally, let’s move on to the sexy legal story of the week. Have you ever found yourself at Bar Revue, wanting to chat up that cute new IL, but at a loss for words? Look no further, The Unreasonable Man [http://theunreasonableman.blogspot.com/2006/12/statutory-pick-ups-no-not-that.html#comments] has got your back. This week, he revealed some very classy legal pickup lines. My personal favorite: "Baby, after looking at you, I'm changing from a soft textualist into a hard textualist." Now if that won’t get you any action, I don’t know what will.
I hope you found this week’s article salacious enough to last you until next week’s article, because that’s all I’ve got. See you next week!
