Non-Sequiturs: 12.15.14

* Allegations abound that Tori Spelling's signature was forged on a bunch of settlement documents. But she says it's hers. What wacky adventures will Donna Martin get into next? [National Enquirer] * A reminder to send in those holiday card contest submissions by Wednesday! We've seen some fun ones so far, but don't let your firm be left out. [Above the Law] * The 11th Circuit's ECF system appears to be infected with a virus. Crackerjack technology work there. [South Florida Lawyers] * Nothing really new here, but it's a very specific, personal account of the broken law school model. [The Gazette (Cedar Rapids)] * Meanwhile, Dean Daniel Hamilton of UNLV Law joins the chorus of deans pitching the "because everyone's figured out law school's a bad deal it's suddenly become a good deal." [Vegas Seven] * Aaron Sorkin stands up for his Hollywood buddies and that means he's fig leafing rampant racism and sexism. [Redline] * Former SF mayor Willie Brown is confused by the nomination of Leondra Kruger to the California Supreme Court because she lives in D.C. He asks whether "there [were] no qualified African Americans in California?" Perhaps, but as a former SCOTUS clerk, Chicago Law instructor, U.S. deputy assistant attorney general, and assistant to the solicitor general there are few more qualified people anywhere for this job. [SF Gate] * There's been a void in all our hearts since we lost the genius UChiLawGo Tumblr. Hopefully its intellectual successor can fill that void. [UChiLawls]
