Bump because I found this and thought that this thread would be better appropriate for it...
Found a couple of things that are interesting (and sad now too). Peter Lattman rarely mentions Isabel, but when he does, he refers her as "Law Blog's wife" which I found cute. Apparently SVU is the #1 favorite of his Law & Order shows

Anyway...continue reading- I copied and paste his blogs here-
here's one regarding Fred D. Thompson

Fred Thompson (Vandy Law ‘67) Quits 2008 Race
Posted by Peter Lattman
Let there be five candidates with law degrees left in the presidential race. The guy on the bottom right, former senator Fred Thompson, dropped out. “I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort,” he said in a statement. The trial lawyer, former prosecutor and former counsel to the Senate committee on Watergate not only has serious experience as a lawyer, he also plays one on TV — fictional Manhattan DA on Law & Order (our second favorite Law & Order series after Law & Order: Special Victims Unit).
Since the ‘04 election we’ve been a big fan of bye-kus, the Japanese poetry created by James Taranto, the WSJ editorial board member who writes the wildly popular Best of the Web column, each time a candidate drops out.
Here’s a sampling. There was the joint bye-ku for Chris Dodd (Lousville Law) and Joe Biden (Syracuse Law):
Yes, they’ve really spent
68 years in Congress
It just seems longer
And then the one written for Tommy Thompson (Wisco Law)
“I’m too sexy for This poll,” said Tommy? Oh, right Said Fred, not Tommy
O Law Blog readers, anyone looking to kill some time on a Tuesday afternoon and come up with a Bye-Ku for Thompson?
Update: Thanks for all the fantabulous submissions. Here’s Thompson’s bye-ku from James Taranto’s Best of the Web:
They called him “tortoise”
But now the man with no hair
Has got out of ours
and now, here's the sad:

Breaking News: The Law Blog Passes the Torch
Posted by Peter Lattman
We have some breaking news, O beloved Law Blog readers. After two years, over 4000 posts and countless reader comments, I’m moving on, to a new beat at the Journal.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce Dan Slater, the next Law Blog. As a litigator at Kaye Scholer in New York a couple of years back, Dan was one of our first loyal Law Blog readers (and you know how we love our loyal readers). He quickly jettisoned the practice of law for a journalism career. I’ll let Dan introduce himself tomorrow morning, but until then all I’ll say is that I’m sure the Law Blog’s best days are ahead.
The Law Blog was born on January 2, 2006 (click here to read a sampling of our earliest posts). When we started out, we didn’t have a clear idea of exactly what we were doing or where this venture would take us — all we knew was that we were going to write a lot about the law and, hopefully, inform and entertain our readers. We quickly discovered a vibrant, passionate and super-smart community of readers ready to engage in an ongoing conversation about the law. It’s been a symbiotic relationship — we write, you respond and so it goes. I only hope that you have had as much fun as I did.
A big Law Blog thanks to my WSJ colleagues who have contributed to the blog in innumerable ways. And a special shout-out to my editors, Jamie Heller and Ashby Jones, and deputy managing editor Bill Grueskin, who have each played — and will continue to play — a vital role in creating and shaping the blog.
So I’m leaving to cover the private-equity industry for the paper. While I am really excited for a new challenge, I know that I will miss the Law Blog. This has been the most rewarding professional experience of my life. Thank you, and goodbye.
Anyway, thought to share those.
