WARNING: This post will disappoint you.
The following teaser appeared at the top of page 1 of today's San Francisco Daily Journal:
Summer Associates Gone Wild
Staff writer Drew Combs follows the trail of e-mail and blog tales of law students' summer misadventures.
BUSINESS PAGE 6
When I read that, my heart raced! Finally, some lewd, salacious and embarrassing tales about summer associates that I could link to on The Legal Reader! This is what I've been waiting for all summer!
Then I read the article itself. My heart sank.
Any names named? None. Any links to blogs reporting scandals? None. Any scandals recounted in anonymous detail? None. The closest it gets it here:
So far, one of this year's most popular tales involves a Los Angeles summer associate whose excessive imbibing at a firm social event led to behavior so shocking his internship was terminated.
WTF? Where are the details, the names, the dirt? What did he do? What school is he from? What was the event? Which firm? Writing, in effect, that "a summer associate in L.A. got fired for getting drunk" hardly justifies the teaser on page 1 headlined "Summer Associates Gone Wild." I'm considering suing the Daily Journal for false advertising under B&P Code section 17500 . . . .
Meanwhile, if you have any real "details, names or dirt" about misbehaving summer associates, leave them in the comments to this post (which you can do anonymously) or email them to me at john-at-legalreader-dot-com. I'll keep your identity confidential upon request.
