Racy Blogger Leaves US Attorney's Office

If only I could reveal the seamy underbelly of the judiciary, I too could be in the New Yorker.

Alas...this guy beat me to it:

A young federal prosecutor who was revealed as the author of a spicy blog about the judiciary is leaving the inner circle. David Lat, who had been the anonymous writer of "Underneath Their Robes," left his job as an assistant U.S. attorney in Newark. Lat, 30, sent an e-mail Friday to fellow staff at the U.S. attorney's office, telling them that it was his last day. He said he would soon be going to work in Washington.

The blogger initially claimed to be a young, female lawyer going by the pen name of Article Three Groupie, or A3G. Article III is the section of the Constitution dealing with the judiciary.

It wasn't until an interview for a November issue of The New Yorker magazine that Lat revealed his true identity.

Unfortunately the blog has been scrubbed.
