* In some "dog bites man" news, dozens of complaints lodged against Twitter by its former employees. [Reuters] * Berkeley Law School provides a good case study in how "campus free speech," addressing both the complexity the issue can raise when politics and identity become intertwined, and how the whole concept has boiled down to a cudgel to harass left-leaning students. [NY Times] * Everyone talks about layoffs, but the other major outcome of economic worry is a run on small law firm acquisitions. And it's already starting. [New Jersey Law Journal] * The UK government suggests that sharing Netflix passwords may be a criminal copyright violation. So while you might think intellectual property law is broken in the United States, trust that it's worse over there. [BBC News] * Eastern Oregon is trying to join Idaho again.
