* Some Biglaw firms, like Orrick, are now going to help young associates by making monthly contributions to their student loan payments. At $100 a month for 18 months, it’s not a very large contribution, but it’s something. We’ll have more on this debt repayment plan later. [DealBook / New York Times]

* Uh-oh… If you thought law firms were going to be alright in Brexit’s wake, you may want to think again. Berwin Leighton Palmer — a firm that almost merged with Greenberg Traurig — has frozen raises and bonuses until November, citing “political and financial uncertainty in the UK.” [Reuters]

* As part of Thomas Jefferson School of Law’s study-abroad program, Justice Clarence Thomas (who was filling in for the late Justice Antonin Scalia) was in Nice, France, last week teaching students about constitutional law. He left the city before the deadly terror attack during the Bastille Day parade. No law students were hurt. [WSJ Law Blog]

* Prior to accepting his position as Donald Trump’s running mate on the Republican ticket, and even prior to becoming the governor of Indiana, Mike Pence had a very short-lived career as a lawyer at a small firm.

* Karmic retribution? The ABA keeps popping out accredited law schools as if it were some sort of a clown car, but it may lose the power to accredit law schools for a one-year period thanks to a recommendation from the Department of Education’s National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity. [Big Law Business]

* “For the time being, at this specific time on this court, Kennedy remains the pivotal justice.” Justice Anthony Kennedy may be almost 80, but he remains the Supreme Court’s constant swing voter. In his opinion in the Fisher affirmative action case last week, he was able to successfully “gut his own precedent.” [Washington Post]

* With a net worth between $7.6M and $25M, if Judge Merrick Garland were ever to be confirmed to the position for which he’s been nominated, then he’d be the wealthiest SCOTUS justice of them all. According to their financial disclosures, the next wealthiest justice is Stephen Breyer, with a net worth between $6.1M and $16M. [ABA Journal]

* Disbarred defense attorney F. Lee Bailey — who you may remember as being part of O.J. Simpson’s “dream team” — filed for bankruptcy in an attempt to escape $5M+ of debt owed to the IRS.

* Jones Day sued over gender and pregnancy discrimination. Maybe this explains the firm’s reticence in raising salaries: it’s trying to build a record that it screws all its associates equally. [Law360]

* Jimmy Johns agrees to drop its ludicrous noncompete agreements as part of a settlement with the NYAG’s office. Finally, Subway and Quiznos can build that lateral market we always desperately needed. [CNBC]

* “I find it highly amusing and somewhat heartening to know that Donald Trump is indirectly subsidizing the defense of undocumented immigrants.” Jones Day may be representing presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, but the firm is also fighting for the rights of more than 100,000 undocumented refugees, all of whom Trump would likely want to see deported if he were to be elected as president in November. [Yahoo!]

* Believe it or not, but Donald Trump’s political career in the Republican Party closely tracks that of a Biglaw legend of the bar. In 1940, Wendell Willkie of Willkie Farr & Gallagher fame was an outsider presidential candidate with absolutely no public service experience to his name — just like Trump. Willkie later went on to lose the election, and only time will tell if Trump will suffer a similar fate in Election 2016. [Big Law Business]

* Professors at George Mason University have demanded that the law school’s renaming to honor the late Antonin Scalia be delayed until school leaders answer their questions about the funding of scholarship monies being tied to the ongoing service of the current dean, but according to law school senior associate dean David Rehr, “[e]ven with this action, we are moving forward … and expect a favorable resolution.” [Washington Post]

* After receiving the largest gift in its history, Pace Law has been renamed in honor of an environmentalist, and will now be known as the Pace University Elisabeth Haub School of Law. The donors do not want the amount of their gift to be disclosed, but Pace says it’s comparable to the $30 million and $25 million gifts George Mason and Villanova respectively received for their recent name changes. Congratulations! [WSJ Law Blog]

* The trial between Sumner Redstone and Manuela Herzer over the media mogul’s mental competence is slated to begin today and will last for a week. With lurid allegations about the 92-year-old’s supposed sexual proclivities, his penchant for eating steak through a feeding tube, as well as his incontinence, this is sure to be an incredibly salacious matter that will play out in the public eye.

* PROOF THAT TRUMP’S A TROJAN HORSE!!! HIS LAWYER’S A DEMOCRAT!!! That may or may not be what they’re writing over at Drudge. But maybe it’s just that any New Yorker not registered as a Democrat basically forfeits their right to vote on any office of import. [The Hill]

* Wanna hear something stupid? A dumb but ultimately harmless internet attack has landed a guy a two-year prison sentence. I mean, there’s no crime in that — like molesting a dead horse, it’s your right as an American. [Slate]

* Should law schools be forcing students to take on certain kinds of pro bono work… and, for that matter, should faculty be held to the same standards? I don’t know why we’d start holding faculty and students to the same standards now. [TaxProf Blog]

* Have law schools become the “Reverse Robin Hood”? [Chronicle of Higher Education]

* State legislator with oxygen tank not allowed to sit in his assigned seat. He could have been accommodated with an aisle seat, but “those are usually reserved for House committee chairs and senior leaders.” Well, that sounds more important than treating a guy with basic human respect. [WTOP]
