The Namby Pamby, Attorney-at-Law

Corporette
Billed as “a fashion and lifestyle blog for overachieving chicks,” Corporette features fashion tips, etiquette lessons, guest authors and sweet bargains. Are thank-you notes on personalized stationery a thing of the past? Can women of color wear their hair naturally in a corporate environment? These questions and more are hotly debated.

Legal Juice
Legal Juice’s John Mesirow puts up scores of tort-related news-of-the-weird posts that you won’t find on your Web browser home page. He seems to hit smaller news markets and locate complaints and unusual laws that other blawggers don’t find.

BabyBarista
BabyBarista offers an entertaining fictional account of a junior barrister published by the Times Online. The blog’s author, Tim Kevan, described “BabyBarista” to the U.K. news site This Is North Devon as “a sneaky character who gets up to all sorts of shenanigans in order to succeed. You wouldn’t like his behavior at all, were it not for the fact that BabyBarista’s opponents are even worse.”

Litination
Litination tries to punk its readers at every turn; some of the humorous legal news on it is real, some fake. Other posts feature photos of unnamed associates with funny captions attached, or photos of unnamed partners next to their look-alikes.
