Wall Street

Non-Sequiturs

Non-Sequiturs: 09.17.15

* Another GOP debate is over (did you get drunk?), and you know what was conspicuously absent? Talk about Wall Street. [Dealbreaker] * Is it even possible to balance motherhood and a career in the law? Anyway you slice it, seems like a raw deal to me. [The Atlantic] * There isn't much quality bestiality coverage anymore. Good thing there is this case of a farmer and his pig from 1642 we can talk about to fill that gap. [Slate] * Can you believe "The Roberts Court" has been a thing for 10 years? Here's a retrospective. [Constitutional Accountability Center] * The dislike button is coming to Facebook... and might put lawyers out of business. [Law and More] * Elie went to a fashion show, and it was everything. [Fashionista] * Carey Gabay, a lawyer in the Cuomo administration, passed away yesterday from a gun shot wound suffered before the West Indian American Day Parade last week. [New York Times]

* Despite the fact that the 25/75 percentile LSAT range for many law schools has dropped precipitously, some schools still care about LSAT scores -- because they care about you (and their U.S. News rank). [Law Admissions Lowdown / U.S. News] * Maryland Law and Baltimore Law are going to be teaming up to launch a solo practice incubator for their recent graduates, and BC, BU, and Northeastern will be doing the same thing in 2016. Full-time, long-term jobs where bar passage is required for all! [National Law Journal] * The Dacheng Dentons merger has the potential to completely change the legal profession as we know it, or fall flat on its face and be remembered as a good idea that went wrong. It's been six months, and we're all still waiting to see what happens. [Financial Times] * The criminal case against ex-Goldman Sachs programmer Sergey Aleynikov is like the Energizer bunny in that it keeps going, and going, and going, and going. Manhattan DA Cy Vance is appealing Aleynikov's overturned conviction. [DealBook / New York Times] * "The unfortunate scenario alleged in the complaint cries out for a legislative fix, not a judicial nix." As expected, terminally ill civil rights attorney Christy McDonnell's right-to-die lawsuit was dismissed by a California judge yesterday. How depressing. [AP]
