Non-Sequiturs

Non-Sequiturs: 01.06.15

* Cops arrest a stormtrooper in Massachusetts. See, J.J. Abrams! This is what happens when you have a black stormtrooper. [Lowering the Bar] * Litigation finance crosses a new threshold: Gerchen Keller announces that it now has $1.4 billion in assets. [Am Law Daily] * Understanding how humans cocoon makes you a better lawyer. But cocoons apparently can't cure Wilford Brimley's "dia-beet-us." [Katz Justice] * Deep look at Rob Billot whose career as a corporate lawyer took a wild turn when he decided to take on DuPont for the last 16 years. [New York Times Magazine] * The law of using submarines to spy. That damn caterpillar drive again. [Lawfare] * Are you going to San Diego ComicCon? Are you willing to cosplay to participate in a mock trial? These folks want to talk with you. [The Legal Geeks] * Americans lost their minds -- one way or the other -- over President Obama's tears yesterday, but they're a well-established part of advocacy to be handled lightly. Or you could just bawl over everything and see if that works. [Law and More] * Let's check in at the AALS Conference. Yep, everything seems perfectly normal over there... That's the CALI.org booth if you're visiting the show (photo grabbed off Twitter).
