In yesterday’s blog post, we asked you to drive safe over Labor Day weekend. But we also want you to have a ton of fun. So with that in mind, I thought we’d kick start the long weekend with legal humor roundup. This week, we have the US Open for Lawyers, a potential warewolf push-up competition, and beer pong discussed in detail in a real lawsuit. Enjoy!

Labor Day Weekend Legal Humor Roundup: Winners and Werewolves
Posted Friday, September 3rd, 2010A World Without Lawyers — Not so Great?
Posted Friday, August 20th, 2010The Consumer Attorneys of California have created a video detailing just what the world would be like without lawyers. Sure, we’ve become an over lawyered society to a certain extent. But lawyers provide far more good than harm, and continue to fight for “the little guy” against corporations who have the resources to get legislation and public opinion on their side.

Legal Humor Roundup: Battle of Television’s Greatest Lawyers
Posted Friday, August 20th, 2010Since this blog focuses mostly on consumer safety, there’s not much opportunity to write about legal humor. But there’s a lot to go around, and every once in a while (especially on a Friday), it’s nice to dive in and see what has made blawgers chuckle recently. This week, the “Battle of Television’s Greatest Lawyers,” outlawed eye-rolling, and toad lickers.

Law Schools Inflate Grades, Blawgers Go Bizerk
Posted Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010Even better than finding a $20 bill in your ski jacket! The New York Times reported on Monday that a group of law schools is inflating grades retroactively to make students “look more attractive in a competitive job market.” Over the past two years, the story explains, schools like New York University, Georgetown and Golden Gate University have bumped grades up 0.333, transforming a B- into a B, a B to a B+, and so on.
Bay Blawgers & Beer – June 3 Happy Hour
Posted Friday, May 21st, 2010One of the aspects of my job that I like the best, is interacting with other legal bloggers across the country and here in the Bay Area. But one of the major drawbacks of blogging is that those connections can feel hollow: rather than discussing a particular issue with a person, for example, it can feel like you’re debating with a screenname or webpage.
Come meet me at 6:00 pm at San Francisco’s Thirsty Bear Brewery on June 3rd so we can put some human faces to the names of familiar Bay Area bloggers with a post-work drink.

Senator wants to do “That Crack Cocaine Thing”
Posted Friday, July 17th, 2009A key lesson most of us learned from the Sotomayor confirmation hearings has been to be careful what you say because it probably will be taken out of context and used against you someday. Apparently Senator Sessions isn’t as quick a learner as the rest of us.
