* Still looking for a great gift for your assistant? Corporette presents their annual secretary gift guide! [Corporette] * Marijuana law may be hot, but marijuana legalization may be in hot water: Oklahoma and Nebraska take their case to the Supreme Court that Colorado's law is damaging them. [The Denver Post] * Associates are super excited about their shiny -- but discretionary -- bonuses. Note that base pay hasn't taken a similar leap. Thanks for throwing a wet blanket on the season. [Law and More] * Who are the new lawyers in Congress? Mike Sacks profiles them. [National Law Journal] * The law firm trying to kill the internet is Jenner & Block. That's unfair -- the law firm employed by people trying to kill the internet is Jenner & Block. And they're willing to write a whole letter and make a state Attorney General just sign it! That's some pull. [The Verge] * At this special time of year, let's remember who this season is all about: pagans. [What About Clients?] * U.S. District Judge Algenon L. Marbley just resigned to settle an ethics probe. Not as a federal judge of course, but as a trustee to THE Ohio State University. The Ohio Ethics Commission raised issues with Judge Marbley serving as a trustee while simultaneously teaching as an adjunct at the law school. [Columbus Dispatch] * Brad and Da Boyz with a nice little ditty about copyright infringement and fair use. [YouTube]
