* Do people outside of New York care about the Brooke Astor trial? The New York media are going crazy over it, but we checked Twitter — our new gauge for public interest — and there’s not much #Astor trial tweeting there. Things did get more interesting for Biglaw ilk yesterday though, when McDermott, Will & Emery partner Henry “Terry” Christensen III took the stand. [AmLaw Daily]
* Almost everything you could want to know about the history and personal life of SCOTUS nominee Sonia Sotomayor. For example, during her time at boutique firm Pavia & Harcourt defending Fendi, she tracked down a suspicious merchandise shipment in Chinatown and hopped on a motorcycle to chase down suspected counterfeiters. There are also some things you might rather not know. For example, she likes to lunch on tuna fish and cottage cheese. [New York Times]
* Adam Liptak sticks to analysis of Sotomayor’s legal opinions in this piece. [New York Times]
