Thanks to everyone for playing - here's the answers:

The first case I worked on out of law school was heard by the Supreme Court.
14 thought this was a lie.
It's true! When I graduated law school I went to the New York Times Electronic Media Company - this was October, 1995 - and they were then defending in the Tassini case, where Tassini and other freelance writers demanded payment for the use of stories they'd written in Nexis & other online & electronic databases. I worked with the general counsel's office at creating and getting signed hundreds of contracts by all current and most former freelancers, and therefore in gathering discoverable materials for the case itself. About 18 months ago, the Times lost, when the Supreme Court ruled for the freelancers. O well.

In law school, I worked on a high profile murder case.
17 said this was a lie.
It's true! In my second year of law school , through a series of friend-of-a-friend things, I found myself working as a research assistent for Leslie Abramson and her cocounsels in their representation of the Menendez brothers. I went to LA twice for pretrial stuff and did a lot of over-the-phone work on analysis of newspaper articles and some caselaw, and some stuff about witnesses. It was very fascinating, and really really depressing. I'll talk about it more if people are interested.

I've tried marijuana.
36 of you said this was a lie.
It was! I've never tried it!

Photos from my wedding are in at least two wedding planning books.
6 of you said this was a lie.
It's not! It's true! You can find pictures of our wedding ceremony and reception, and the cake, in Bridal Style: The Concise Edition and in The Knot Presents: Weddings for the Real World. We're in Bridal Style because Aaron's cousin Bonnie, who writes cookbooks, came home from our wedding to a meeting with her editor, and couldn't stop talking about the "centerpieces" we had hanging from the ceilings, or our cake shaped like a stack of books (including the fake Holmes, The Case of the Missing Ushers (we didn't have any, as all Aaron's attendents were women, other than his brother, who was best man). We were in The Knot's book because I was the chatroom host coordinator for them in 1996-1997m and Carley, the editor, was a good friend of mine. You can see a picture of me in that one.

I've seen Les Miserables live 15 times.
Damned straight.
