* Daaaammmmn. Some serious shade as Greenberg Traurig CEO Richard Rosenbaum takes a swipe at Dentons. Video below the jump.
* Lamar Odom is still technically married to Khloe Kardashian, thereby giving his estranged wife authority when it comes to medical decisions. Good, because I think we were all hoping a man’s tragic health crisis could be fodder for May Sweeps. [Eonline]
* Linklaters is “internally crowdsourcing” to find a solution to provide a better work-life balance. Jesus. Bring on the necessary resources to cap any individual’s work week at 60 billable hours and move on. Anything less is just an invitation to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic. [Law360]
* Looks like NPR’s hit podcast Serial is ready for a second season. [The Onion]
* Dewey think these deliberations will ever end? [The Am Law Daily]
* Ah, the life of in-house counsel: writing bitchy emails to customers telling them how stupid they are. [L.A. Times]
* Rand Paul explains how “liberty” works for gay people. [Gawker]
* Before joining a class action, make sure aren’t advertising your own criminal behavior to authorities. [Times-Picayune]
* And here’s that Greenberg Traurig-Dentons swipe. This strikes me as an ill-considered decision given that Dentons is known as a firm that doesn’t start fights, but sure as f**k ends them. [Big Law Business / Bloomberg BNA]

* “A wealthy oligarchy of donors is dominating the 2016 election.” Not true. Based on the polls it’s dominated by an oligarchy of one. [Election Law Blog]
