We're at the point where this is a serious question.

Guardian learns Amy Chua said she would advise students on their physical look to help win post in Kavanaugh’s chambers.

Never heard of Hugelaw? Let me explain.

* Unfortunately, this story that Yale professors felt women needed to have a physical "type" to clerk for Brett Kavanaugh isn't terribly surprising. We've been hearing these same rumblings from others -- it seems people have started to come forward and be identified (at least to the reporters) about this kind of talk. [Huffington Post]

* CLOC thinks Australia is ready for its "Legal Operations moment." When is that moment going to come to the US? Because all I see are firms raising fees and in-house offering very little but muted disappointment. [Corporate Counsel]

* The judge and attorneys for the WWE are pushing back against the lawyer for a 53-person class alleging the WWE ignored the threat of concussions for years. The operative term is "for years" as in "so long ago that it's time-barred." But the class is following the NFL CTE suit's lead in trying to get around that. [American Lawyer]

* Papa John heading to court to battle his old company. A serious question: is it really that important to make bad commercials with Peyton Manning again? Just sit this one out. [Law.com]

* Mark Cuban to donate $10 million to the advancement of women's athletics as part of a series of overarching reforms to address harassment findings within the Dallas Mavericks organization (Disclaimer that Mark's brother Brian is an Above the Law columnist). [Law360]

* Trump's declared election interference a national emergency. But as you might expect it doesn't actually do much that might upset King Putin. [Lawfare]

If they didn't go to "that" party, then what party did they meet her at? These are the questions an investigation would reveal.

3-D GUN GUY CHARGED WITH SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A MINOR: Wonder if he has blueprints to print out a criminal defense lawyer.

1Ls WON'T BE FORCED TO HAVE CLASSES WITH PROFESSOR WHO USED THE N-WORD IN CLASS: He's still got a job though, so check with the registrar.

PRE-LAW STUDENTS STILL DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT LAW SCHOOL: They think they do, though.

MISSISSIPPI STATE BAR PASSAGE RATES: I bet it's the part where they teach the Confederate Constitution instead of the U.S. one that dogs them.

SCREW IT, SOME KAVANAUGH STUFF: Yale Law alumni wonders why Yale Law won't speak out against Brett Kavanaugh. I'm not surprised. I'm old enough to remember what law school Clarence Thomas went to.

They may have lost the case, but history proved them correct.
