* It's gettin' hot in herre, so take off all your clothes. Nelly's gettin' so hot, he wanna take his clothes off -- for his jailhouse strip search? The rapper was arrested in Tennessee this weekend for felony and simple possession of a potpourri of drugs on his tour bus. [CNN] * “It usually takes much longer for a position to become so disreputable that no respectable lawyer will touch it." If you haven't noticed, Biglaw firms don't want to touch the SCOTUS gay marriage arguments with a 10-foot pole. [New York Times] * “I think we’re going to see a 10,000-lawyer law firm within five years." In case it's not entirely obvious by now, Dentons is trying to become the largest firm in the universe, with "no logical end" in sight to its lawyer hoarding ways. [Wall Street Journal (sub. req.)] * "[T]his one has me bumfuzzled." Like other legal experts, this law prof isn't sure how to tackle Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson's lawsuit to preserve her power, but he does win the award for best usage of "bumfuzzled." [Lacrosse Tribune] * Yikes! Pennsylvania State Attorney General Kathleen Kane recently found herself embroiled in scandal after two of her offices were searched and she was ordered to explain to a three-judge panel her reasoning for firing one of her prosecutors.
