* Finally, an answer to why in the hell “white shoe” law firms are called that. Not surprisingly, this is another case of Yuck Fail. [Overlawyered]

* I knew there was this ridiculous report from Cooley Law School floating around where the school claims that employment is great for lawyers. I wasn’t going to insult you by linking to another intellectually dishonest report from an institution that seems to thrive on such “evidence.” But somebody else has written about it now so I’ll link there and you can click over to the report if you don’t mind being toyed with. [Legal Skills Prof Blog]

* I’m not totally sure that having client sanitized blog postings is really all that helpful to the cause of journalism. But few over the age of 50 are convinced that “blogging” is helpful to the cause of journalism so I really don’t want to judge this new idea from BC Law. [LawSites]

* Instead of blaming the mother for faking her address to get her kids into a better public school, why not blame the school her kids were supposed to go to for sucking so hard that a parent felt compelled to lie to save her kids? [WSJ Law Blog]

* Shutting down pot dispensaries is bad for the environment. [LA Weekly]

* Do you work for a firm that counts Bank of America as a client? Hope you have a top notch collections department. [Dealbreaker]

* This expresses the big accounting firms as college football teams. Do you think we could do this with the AmLaw 100? Off the top of my head: Debevoise would be Virginia Tech (they seem nice and grounded in the fundamentals). Wachtell would be Ohio State (sure they pay players, but they win). Kirkland would be Florida (internal Kool-Aid drinking is mandatory). Yeah, I could do this 97 more times. [Going Concern]
