As usual, we don’t include our regular features like This Week in Layoffs and The Month in Layoffs in the Top 10 posts for the month. Our latest addition, the Laid Off Diary, also has its own dedicated page, which you should be checking regularly. The Introduction is a good place to get started on this series that provides an intimate description of the information that we otherwise present so objectively.
#10 – Googlestalking the Suspended Former Pillsbury Lawyer – Sometimes we don’t think of witty titles and just go straight for the summary.
The rest of the top 10, after the jump.
#9 – Square Hole – From the Laid Off Diary, struggling to retain an identity in the cog-producing machine.
#8 – The Laid Off Diary’s most-popular article to date – Apple. Searching and hoping for career inspiration.
#7 – MB Big Winner in Program It Designed – Color us unimpressed by Mayer Brown’s self-serving “secondment” program. But to repeat for the gazillionth time, yes, it’s better in some respects than being laid off right now.
#6 – 10 Recent Malpractice Suits Against BigLaw – A roundup of firms’ troubles. We’ve got just about enough material filed away already to do a sequel.
#5 – NYT Features Law Shucks, White & Case – Touting our recognition as “macabre but wildly popular” in the most-talked-about article of the month among all the law blogs, in which White & Case took it on the chin as the posterchild for a crumbling model.
#4 – VC to Baltimore Mayor, We’re Outta Here – God, I miss The Wire.
#3 – More GM BigLaw Info Than Anyone Should Know – 15 firms’ and countless lawyers’ roles in the big bankruptcy.
#2 – Cap’n Crunch Wins Dismissal – a serial cereal plaintiff didn’t realize Crunchberries weren’t real.
#1 – A long time ago we started to suspect that our readers were degenerate gamblers. This month’s #1 is further evidence of that: the $3.75 Million Coin Flip, in which we recount the story of a Credit Suisse banker and a real-estate developer who love to gamble.
