Weekly Law School Roundup #3

Not for Sheep Defends Anonymous Big-Firm Lawyers from the Sniping of a Notorious Blawger Writing in defense of the right to remain anonymous, particularly with reference to the authors of the blawg And What Thanks Do We Get?, Katherine of Not for Sheep opines:

I do, however, think it is small-minded, petty, and distinctly jealous behavior to attempt to unmask the authors. What, you can't stand someone being more interesting than you for 15 seconds? Give me a break.

Harsh words--and hey, I distinctly think Katherine was referring to me and this post, to which she appended the comment: "This is the snobbiest blawg I've yet seen..."

It goes without saying that I thank Katherine for her constructive criticisms and welcome her back anytime, even before I need her support in the Snobbiest Blawg Competition. I should also point out that in defending the What Thanks authors, who purport to be important law firm partners, her political instincts are impeccable. I, too, did quite well in my day by sucking up to big-firm partners.
