Our recent post about a Memphis tax attorney mischaracterized the lawyer as a “pedophile with a solid cellar to show for it.” It should have read “oenophile,” a person who is a lover or collector of wine. Bitter Lawyer regrets the error.
Our story about an ABA and law school tuition refund plan indicated that the program would pay up to twenty-three months of a “life adjustment stipend” to qualifying law students. The program, however, only allows up to fourteen months.
