I quickly fled to Eric Turkewitz's New York Personal Injury Law Blog and went into the "Interesting Cases in the News" section hoping to salvage my mood. The page opened. "Can Va. Tech Be Sued for Shooting Massacre?" it asked.

Not being ready to engage myself in such an enlightening discussion, I went over to meet Al Nye The Lawyer Guy. His page greeted me with the following news: "U.S. Death Toll for April in Iraq is 104."


Deciding not to dwell on something that made me feel so helpless, I opened the Legal Pad. The headline proclaimed, "Reward Offered in Death of Protected Witness."

I tore myself away desperately and plunged into my favorite safe haven: Overlawyered. And the title of the post at the top of the page screamed, "I'M BEING SUED FOR WHAT?"

Unable to answer, I went to Peter Lattman's blog at the Wall Street Journal law blog to find Lattman crossing the borders of propriety and blogging about something that definitely isn't new but that we never, ever mention in "A New Judicial Crisis: Judges Falling Asleep."

And just below that post, Lattman asked, "Are Women Lawyers Reaching a Crisis Point?"

Noticing that Lattman had chosen to focus on different crises as premier topics, I called my editors. "Look," I told them. "The public loves negative views. I used the same study that Peter used and came to the opposite conclusion. The study says 17% of firm partners today are women. Peter says it's a crisis, and he gets 57 comments! In my Judged blog, I say this new study proves just the opposite of a crisis. When I say this proves the presence of women partners has risen at least 4% over the last four years and things are actually improving, nobody cares to comment. Readers want doom and death."

"Relax," they say. "Be positive. You are reading too many horror stories."

But then again, I only read the morning news...
