Morning Docket: 07.08.15

* FYI, it may be a “nine-week job interview—for both sides,” but summer associates hardly have room to complain when they're being wined, dined, and paid up to $3,000 per week to work at the Biglaw firms where they landed jobs. [Wall Street Journal (sub. req.)] * Hot take alert: Per our favorite (and sometimes controversial) blogging jurist, Richard Kopf of the District of Nebraska, “Senator Ted Cruz is not fit to be President” because he wants to allow voters to boot SCOTUS justices. [WSJ Law Blog] * Maria Mitousis, the divorce lawyer who was seriously injured after a bomb allegedly mailed to her by a client's ex-husband exploded in her office, says she'll be back to work ASAP. Her hand got blown off and she still wants to bill. What's your excuse? [CBC News] * Former Galveston County (Texas) Court-at-Law Judge Christopher Dupuy was recently arrested and charged with two counts of online harassment after he allegedly created sex ads featuring his exes. He sounds like a real winner, y'all. [Crimesider / CBS News] * This prospective law student got a 173 on the LSAT and wants to know whether it would be advisable to retake the exam. Are you actually kidding me with this? You'll get in almost anywhere with a 173 and a pulse. [Law Admissions Lowdown / U.S. News & World Report]
