* Jeffrey Epstein sent to the hospital and put on suicide watch. [USA Today] * "I take your question," the legal equivalent of "whatever, dude." [Quartz] * Firms hoping to connect with clients are best off selling their firm through media and the trade press rather than rankings and social media. So, it's time to pull the trigger on that ad campaign in Above the Law you've been considering. [American Lawyer] * While lazy hacks in the media talk about the "optics" of the Mueller testimony, the real discussion of optics should focus on Trump's frantic efforts to squelch release of his tax documents. Some moves just scream you've got something to hide. [Law360] * Eugene Scalia is already caught up in a conflict of interest problem, completing the traditional rite of passage for a member of this administration. [Washington Examiner] * Revisiting Milliken v. Bradley, the case that turned Brown v. Board into an FYI. [NPR] * Puerto Rico's governor announces resignation. [Courthouse News Service]
