* Baylor Law School out of compliance with ABA standards. [KWTX]
* But the good news is that some other schools are back in compliance! [ABA Journal]
* O'Melveney explains how expansion pushed them into a billion-dollar firm this year. We've said this before, but as we wait for the Am Law 200, make note of these stories because it's "the notes they're not playing" -- every peer firm that's not rushing to tell their story to the American Lawyer right now is probably sitting on some iffy numbers.

Branding legal counsel as "domestic terrorism" might seem like a prelude to fascism, but we've all been assured that the REAL fascism is Yale students not inviting kids they don't like to parties. So we're all fine. [AL.com]
* The EU is coming for Asiago. [Bloomberg Law News]
* Supreme Court throws head in sand and refuses to consider that FedEx might have a workforce that crosses state borders... as a delivery company. [Reuters]
