2nd Circuit

Non-Sequiturs: 07.01.14

* Judge Judy hears a case about Grindr. “Don’t pee on my leg… unless you’re into that.” [Gawker] * Supreme Court retirements announced! [Legal Times] * Most criminals don’t walk around in a giant yellow bird costume. This guy is not most criminals. [Lowering the Bar] * The Washington Post credits blogger Josh Blackman with coining the term “benchslap.” Professor Blackman corrected the author. Let’s get a Kickstarter going to buy her a Black’s Law Dictionary (affiliate link) so she doesn’t make this mistake again. [Washington Post] * The Chamber of Commerce didn’t win every case this term. But it came awfully close to perfect when it counted. [Constitutional Accountability Center] * If you’ve been looking to complete your collection of Second Circuit bobbleheads, behold Judge Denny Chin! If this wasn’t sponsored by the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, I’d worry this pic was a little racist…. [Squareup]
