Press release!
Today all of the important news stations in Charlottesville, and possibly the world, came to the LAJC to attend a press release put on by one of our fearless lawyers. The press release focused on a class action suit that our housing interns helped put together to file. Pay attention to the local news channels tonight and you may just get to see the inside of the LAJC annex, as well as maybe a shot or two of El Panadero filming on a iPhone with a bright purple case. Really, the only point of this post is to assure everyone that the purple case does not actually belong to El Panadero. Also to start the trend of El Panadero referring to himself in the third person, as El Panadero is currently doing.
Anyways, congrats to the housing interns and lawyers who worked hard to file this case and put on this great press release!

5 Day Pay or Quit?
Hey BunkBeds:
Heard you got evicted from your room this morning and were kicked out for this badass class action/housing law meeting. Heard it never even happened, too! What a tough break. But hey, if you need any free, NON-legal representation, we're here for you. We know tons about housing law and are apparently less expendable than some of the other interns...

At least we keep all our posts up
Friday, for reasons that are not very clear, the BunkBeds wrote an incredibly complimentary and truthful post, and then immediately redacted it. Apparently there is some dissention within the ranks of that rank back room, and all we can say is: we support you anonymous poster! Keep strong and true! We recognize your sacrifice, and hope you aren't being punished too violently, we know how savage things in that room can get....
Fortunately, I was able to copy the post before it was taken down, and personally we at the Boiler Room think it would be a crime against humanity to allow it to go unread by the total 7 shared viewers that the two blogs have. Therefore, for your reading pleasure, here is that incredibly nice post:
Since we really don't do that much work, especially when compared to the Boiler Room, I figured I'd sit down and write a short post. This is a pretty important post in my opinion, and I'd like to set a few things straight. I would like to apologize for any perceived slight or challenge to the Boiler Room's dominance. Really, in the LAJC blog rankings, there's no question as to which comes out on top. We're incredibly grateful to have the Boiler Room to look up to and to use as a shining example of not only what a Legal Aid blog is supposed to be, but what perfect interns look like as well. They really have it all put together. I mean, just look at that stellar group of individuals. Always impeccably dressed, they put the business into "business casual". The dulcet Scottish and Zimbabwean accents are perfect for putting clients at ease and turning roaring opponents into mewing kittens. The feedback that has already come in has their clients not believing that they aren't lawyers (even though the Boiler Room interns compete oh so professionally to see how many times they can make that disclaimer), and indeed, since they aren't allowed to give legal advice, most clients desperately seek their advice in other non-legal matters, including fashion tips, voting preferences, and really just general life-guidance. Really, they are less interns and more life coaches, for everyone who comes into contact with them. Their record speaks for itself: within the first day they had already closed a case, and we can only guess that they must now be in the hundreds. How many times have we watched them on their way to the kitchen and just reveled in awe at their magnificence? We can't even imagine what glorious child Baby Mama is going to bring into the world, being incubated in such an amazing room with those five amazing individuals. We hear "I Am Not a Lawyer" has actually finished memorizing the entire Virginia code, and the other intern has created fifteen new Lean Cuisine recipes in his spare time that actually taste good and can fill a normal person's stomach. Basically, what it boils down to (see what I did there?) is that we just wanted to tell the world how amazing it is to work just down the convoluted hall from such a spectacular group of people, a group that we feel proud to look up to as mentors, who we can only hope will share some of their comprehensive knowledge about the law, and really the world.
Thank you Boiler Room, we feel proud just saying we breathe the same air as you do.
(Please note we mean no disrespect to the Birdcage in this post, we realize you guys are better than us too.)
