* Dahlia Lithwick likens the high drama at the High Court over who-will-retire-first to an Oscar Wilde play. [Slate]

* Holland & Knight was one of the firms that took part in the pre-Valentine’s Day massacre, but one practice group was actually hiring. It’s a good time to be a lawyer-lobbyist. [Washington Post]

* Dewey & LeBeouf may help the MGM Mirage unwind. [Swiss Press]

* Jury selection begins today for the trial of Brooke Astor’s son and lawyer, who allegedly took advantage of her Alzheimer’s to steal millions from her. The case has been getting media attention for years, but now (post-Bernie Madoff) It seems almost quaint. [New York Times]

* Solo practitioners and small firms are getting creative in how they bill. Some are even bartering. A cow for some document review perhaps? [National Law Journal]
