Yesterday, I published “3 Outrageous Personal Injury Lawsuits,” a guest post by Texas personal injury lawyer Kevin Krist. It’s pretty funny, just not in the way it was supposed to be. If you don’t get it, just check out the comments. There’s some hilarious stuff in there. The separated-at-birth Kuhn brothers really went to town critiquing the post, for which I am genuinely appreciative. Read on for a summary of the complaints.
As much as we don’t like to admit it, law students screw up a lot of things. Most of the time, the things we screw up are unimportant, like our personal or romantic lives. (Let’s just be honest here.

While his postcards have taken on a cult following and fetch high prices on eBay, Neo-Scrivener’s tactics pose a real and imminent threat to the future of successful elawyering. The blawgging world’s hopes now rest with Megablawg.
