    * Fifty-six years ago today, a group of African-American students sat down at the whites only section of a lunch counter. Can you even imagine the BS talking heads and think pieces would spew if that event happened today? [Lawyers, Guns and Money]

    * University of New Mexico Law School is ranked number 1… for public defenders and prosecutors. [Daily Lobo]

    * Stanford Law Professor Barbara van Schewick is going after T-Mobile “Binge On” service, which allows users to watch streaming content from approved providers without using their data plan, saying it violates net neutrality. [Tech Times]

    * Oyez, oyez! Anyone got a million-plus to buy a multimedia history of the Supreme Court? [Wall Street Journal]

    * All the Iowa caucus coverage making you excited? You’d probably enjoy Wonkette’s Game Of US America Elections: The Game. [Wonkette]

    * Utah State Senator Todd Weiler wants to do something — anything, really, — to stop the terrible moral decline caused by PORN. [Popehat]

    * Lawyers are stuck in a rat race, and it could kill you. [Law and More]

    * Get updated on the best in the legal tech world, before the Legaltech conference. [CodeX]

    * If you’re going to be in San Diego for the ABA Midyear Meeting, come out Friday to “Blawgs and Listservs: Legal Publications in the Digital Age” to see Craft Beer Attorney Candace Moon, bankruptcy and fraud litigator Kathy B.

    * We have a new pope. Pope Francis I has no involvement with the sexual abuse scandals surrounding the Church, but has had other legal troubles in his past. [Los Angeles Times] * UNLV Law Dean Nancy Rapoport schools other deans on drafting press releases about the U.S. News rankings. [Nancy Rapoport's Blogspot] * Lend your support to this new project to create Oyez-style audio/video archives of state Supreme Court proceedings. This will be really helpful, but I’m holding out for audio/video of Wade McCree’s courtroom. [Knight News Challenge] * If you’re mad that your name comes up when people Google “erectile dysfunction,” filing a public lawsuit over that fact isn’t the answer. [IT-Lex] * Charter schools are lame because the crazy people running them teach whatever they want, like this one that teaches students that hippies were dirty. Well, okay, that’s not actually untrue, but the system’s textbooks have other faults, like explaining how the KKK was just misunderstood, y’all. [Lawyers, Guns & Money] * Man loses his memory after car crash-induced head trauma, decides to become a lawyer. I’ve always said would-be lawyers should have their heads examined.
