This week’s “Lawyers in the News” brought to you by the numbers, 31, 40,000 and 4,850,000,000

1. Lawyers in Pakistan – I have to start this week by moving outside of the US and recognizing the thousands of protesting lawyers and judges in Pakistan who have ended up in jail.

2. 31 – Judge, Joe M. Bonaventure, who is presiding over the (latest) OJ case is only 31 years old. He’s the son of Vegas’ most famous judge, Joseph T. Bonaventure.

3. Mukasey Sworn In – Michael Mukasey gets to follow in dubious footsteps as our next Attorney General.

4. $4,850,000,000 – Merk settles 27,000 Vioxx lawsuits for a staggering sum. Plaintiff firms are set to rake in $2 billion. Happy lawyers place orders for the new Audi S5.

5. OJ Facing Familiar Territory: Life Behind Bars – Increasing number of (former) co-defendants are turning on the Juice.

6. $40,000 - Lose your job as America’s top lawyer? No problem – just get a $40K speaking fee at the University of Florida.
