A legal blog called Blogonaut—with the tagline “We don’t make this stuff up—really”—has listed its top stories of the year.

The posts tend to be wacky rather than weighty. Here’s a sampling of some of the headlines:

Brawling TN Lawyer Entangled in Hilarious McDonald’s Dustup—But Fast Food Imbroglio is ‘Tip of the Iceberg’ for Court Room Pugilist

Slain Attorney’s First Wife Also Tried to Shoot Him

—Lawyer’s Defense to Meth Charge—‘I Did it for My Dog’—Wins Acquittal

Blogonaut readers are being invited to vote for the top story or to nominate their own. In early voting, a post about controversial Las Vegas Judge Elizabeth Halverson was garnering some support. More on Halverson in the ABA Journal’s “You’re NOT the Boss of Me,” August 2007.
