* Katy Perry’s lawyers from Greenberg Traurig lob another volley at the sculptor of Left Shark. Amazingly, they’re trying to use his sculpture in their trademark application. Can’t make this up. [Political Sculptor]

* Former ATL Lawyer of the Year, Paul Weiss’s Roberta Kaplan, has an interesting new project. She’s asking Americans to co-sign an amicus brief for the upcoming marriage equality showdown. As one observer quipped, “How does conflict checking work in this situation?” [The People’s Brief]

* Is the law school crisis ending in 2015? Hahahaha. [Tipping the Scales]

* Litigation financier Gerchen Keller Capital LLC raised a boatload more money. It now has assets in excess of $800 million. That’ll pay for a lot of slip-and-falls (and other stuff too of course). [Chicago Law Bulletin]

* Should the WWE unionize? Oh, please do! I’d actually love seeing Vince as a union-busting heel. [The Legal Blitz]

* The details of the latest indictment of an NYPD officer over the killing of an unarmed black man really makes you wonder how Eric Garner’s killer got to walk. [Business Insider: Law & Order]

* A glowing profile of David Lat discussing his career, ATL, and his new book (affiliate link). [Positively Filipino]

* Tomorrow, the Constitutional Accountability Center and the National Constitution Center are co-sponsoring an event marking the 150th anniversary on of Congress’s approval of the Thirteenth Amendment. If you want to attend, get tickets at this link. If you just want to watch the livestream, we’ll link to that tomorrow. [National Constitution Center]

* Agent Carter proves the Constitution does exist in the Marvel Universe. Even though I’m fuzzy on the part that allows unelected officials to launch nukes on Manhattan. [The Legal Geeks]
