As Corporate Attorney, Miers Blasted 'Greedy' Trial Lawyers

As a corporate lawyer, Harriet Miers recommended to then-Gov.

Humor columnist The Snark envisions a television show called "OCI" � which would be about the on-campus interview, a process during which big firms descend in droves upon the top law schools across the country, hoping to snag the next wave of associates. Maybe the show wouldn't be as sexy or dramatic as "CSI" or "The O.C.," but it probably would have just as big of a budget, and it would involve some recurring characters, such as Big Firm Attorney Recruiter Extraordinaire and Attorney Attractor.
