Dishy Law Blog Still in Archive
You can still read portions of a blog called “Underneath Their Robes”, a hybrid of People magazine and the Harvard Law Review that is all over the news today. The gossipy blog turns out not to have been written by a female law partner at a large firm, but by a 30-year-old prosecutor at the Justice Department, David B. Lat, and included such gems as a contest to determine the “Superhotties of the Federal Judiciary”.
Lat outed himself in a New Yorker article, and some have asked the question of how his job will fare. This is the big question for anonymous bloggers telling tales…Jolie in NYC and others have gotten the boot that way. But another interesting question is that of the permanence of a blog and the ease of removing it from public access once it’s out there. Although Lat’s blog has now been placed behind a password-protected firewall, there are still a number of old posts (circa 2004) available on the Internet Archive.
