* Judge settles sexual harassment case brought against him by his former court reporter for $744,000. Why would you ever harass a court reporter? It’s not “he said-she said” when she’s got a verbatim transcript. [Missoulian]

* Elizabeth Wurtzel talks about Biglaw inefficiencies. Branding the billable hour “inefficient” may not be earth-shattering commentary, but it’s Elizabeth Wurtzel, so maybe Salon will pick it up or something. Then we’ve really got the ball rolling. [Big Law Business / Bloomberg BNA]

* Teacher eats live hamster in front of children to teach them “how dear life is.” Makes sense. [Legal Juice]

* Uncle Sam. Always wanting to go in the backdoor. [LXBN]

* College sued over forced vaginal examinations. Ummm… what? [CNN]

* Vermont has banned litigation financing for a year. Was there some compelling reason? Nope, businesses just told the legislature that letting people bring merited claims would be “bad” so they banned it. DEMOCRACY! [LFC 360]

* Crowdfunding police abuse lawsuits. You may have seen their ads running 24/7 on cable news a few weeks ago. Oh, wait, that wasn’t an ad? [KPCC]

* What do this elderly couple in Seattle and Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. have in common? [Seattle Times]

* Yale asked some of its graduates to go on camera and explain what they’ll be doing after graduation. Their answers may vary from those at the Florida Coastal graduation.
