Non-Sequiturs

Non-Sequiturs: 02.26.16

* Justice Thomas chats it up with a TMZ reporter about Lance Ito, NYU, and his lunch at Capital Grille. For as engaged as he is, it's weird that he won't divulge what he ordered, right? I assume it was a steak and probably some kind of cola. [TMZ] * "Hey, buddy... we're going to take back your money because your old firm sucked. Sorry it took us four years to notice!" [National Law Journal] * Dewey know anyone breathing a little easier today? Former executive director Stephen DiCarmine and chief financial officer Joel Sanders saw 30 counts of grand larceny (15 each) dismissed today. [Law360] * Were you wondering when the next Supreme Court justice is going to die? Because there's an app for that... apparently. [Slate] * Remember Judge Richard Cebull's racist emails? Well, there are more, but we won't get to see them. [National Law Journal] * T-Swift is now in the litigation finance game. Imma let her finish but I think some of these other litigation finance firms are the greatest of all time. [Mighty] * Lawyer suspended for Facebook misconduct. That's a thing now. [Legal Profession Blog] * Keeping up the pressure: Fix the Court writes Chief Justice Roberts requesting faster access to Supreme Court audio in the name of transparency. He will probably go ahead and ignore this. [Fix the Court] * How do Biglaw bigwigs really live? Vivia Chen visits the home of our 2013 Lawyer of the Year, Roberta Kaplan of Paul Weiss. [The Careerist] * Attorney Renee Rabinowitz has had enough of this religiously cloaked sexism stuff. She's suing El Al for making her switch seats because an ultra-Orthodox man refused to sit next to a woman. [New York Times]
