* 3D printing and lightsabers and intellectual property. [Concurring Opinions] * Speaking of IP law, let's talk Santa Claus and intellectual property. [Trademark & Copyright Law Blog / Foley Hoag LLP] * "ExamExtensionGate" stirs up conservatives, but also a lot of liberal to moderate Boomers, because... "Lazy Millennials!" Forgetting of course that law students in the 1960s did the exact same thing. But those were mostly white kids talking about Vietnam, so it's like... different, man. [PrawfsBlawg] * If you're excited to hear this year's annual report on the federal judiciary and can't hardly wait until Chief Justice Roberts unleashes it upon the world, perhaps you can sate your appetite with this prebuttal. [Fix the Court] * The Texas judge who kicked a lawyer out of court for thoughtlessly appearing with a broken leg has earned the ire of the Dallas legal community. [Legal Juice] * More than 70 years later, a judge concludes that South Carolina shouldn't have executed a 14-year-old based on a one-day trial. Took ya long enough. [WTOP] * Interesting academic piece on Muslims in the Antebellum South. In other news, there were Muslims in the Antebellum South. [The Faculty Lounge]
