The Dersh, however, seemed pleased as punch by the news: "This makes my day.” [WSJ Law Blog] * Illinois passed some of the toughest anti-revenge-porn legislation the country has seen to date. With possible jail time and huge fines, maybe people will be inspired to be decent human beings... but we doubt it. [International Business Times] * Welcome to 2015: In what's being called the "running of the laterals," many Biglaw partners and associates are making their moves and taking their practices to different firms and businesses.
