* Should you go to law school? Our very own Kathryn Rubino lays out the pros and cons. [Policydb8] * You don't have to practice law; here's the story of how I went from practicing lawyer to founder of Above the Law, which I recently shared with Goli Kalkhoran. [Lessons From A Quitter] * UVA Law graduate Johnathan Perkins -- whose 3L controversy, covered in these pages (and elsewhere), turned out to be very different from initial reports -- has recommendations for improving the school's Honor System, especially when it comes to dealing with racial bias. [Cavalier Daily] * Eugene Volokh and David Post offering conflicting perspectives on Brett Kavanaugh and judicial temperament. [Reason / Volokh Conspiracy; Reason / Volokh Conspiracy] * The current Term of the U.S. Supreme Court might be short on blockbusters -- but it's not without interesting themes, according to Adam Feldman. [Empirical SCOTUS] * Emily Gold Waldman explores the intersection of diversity requirements, inclusion riders, and Title VII. [PrawfsBlawg] * Jean O'Grady looks at the latest offering from Intelligize. [Dewey B Strategic] * Funding continues to flow into the world of legal tech -- and the latest beneficiary is Lexoo, the U.K.-based, lawyer-matching online marketplace. [Artificial Lawyer] -

Non-Sequiturs: 04.30.14
* Donald Sterling may be banned from the NBA, but the recording that placed him on the outside looking in was captured illegally per California law. [The Legal Blitz] * If the NBA owners agree — as expected — to force Sterling to sell the Clippers, it could cost his heirs over $100 million. Let’s feel sorry that megamillionaires might be slightly less megamillionaires. [Slate] * The inimitable Charles P. Pierce with more on the horrifically botched execution in Oklahoma last night. Overlooked in the horror was the constitutional crisis that preceded it — where the very authority of the state supreme court was called into question. [Esquire] * After getting his client acquitted of molesting a child while drunk, a lawyer managed to get arrested for DWI, hours after the verdict. Amazing. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch] * The conservative argument for copyright reform. Seriously, at this point there’s no political philosophy in favor of lengthy copyright terms, so why can’t we change this? Oh, right. Media companies have tons and tons of money. [R Street] * UVA Law funds the first jobs of a bunch of its grads. David Lat weighs in. [C-Ville] * This story could just as easily be entitled “I’m a young Biglaw associate who lives in Williamsburg.” [McSweeneys]

* According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the legal sector added 2,300 jobs in 2014. Our sincere condolences go out to all those who are still “too overqualified but too under-experienced,” all at the same time, to get hired. [Am Law Daily]
* This lawyer protested jury duty by emailing the judge to say she’d “blame the plaintiff” for making her work nights and weekends for her client, but she can only blame herself for having to spend the night in jail. Oopsie! [Daily Report (reg. req.)]
* “Would it be great if all unpaid internships paid really well? Sure. It would also be great if my dog made breakfast for me every morning, but I am not going to file a lawsuit over it.” Yep. [Los Angeles Times]
* The law school transparency movement has come quite far since its inception, but there’s a lot of room for improvement. Encourage your school to hurry up and “publish what it has at its fingertips.” [Law.com]
* UVA Law held its Softball Invitational this weekend. A Duke Law dude emailed us to say his school sucks at basketball, but it’s awesome at law school softball. Sweet accomplishment, brah. [Newsplex]
