Non-Sequiturs

Non-Sequiturs: 12.11.15

* We've been super lucky that Old Man Winter hasn't pelted us with terrible, bitter cold weather... yet. But as Westerosians know, it is coming. Here's how to look good -- and professional -- when it does. [Corporette] * The sad state of immigration law in this country is a big ball of tragedy and comedy. Not exactly an ideal policy. [Huffington Post] * We already reported on Freshfields announcing holiday bonuses today, but another Magic Circle firm is also in a giving mood. Slaughter & May bumped up its "new solicitor bonus" in time for the holidays. That should make this year's Christmas party almost as fun as 1981's. [Legal Cheek] * An historical analysis of how prohibition law led to the modern right wing. Fascinating stuff. [Slate] * Following up on a benchslap from back in April, Judge Charles Rendlen suspends another lawyer as "dishonest and dangerously incompetent." Feel free to read the whole thing here. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch] * Gibson Dunn's Debra Wong Yang, who has billed NJ taxpayers more hours in connection with the Bridgegate investigation than any other lawyer, is now hosting a big-dollar fundraiser for Christie 2016. Time for some traffic problems everywhere! [WNYC]
