* In the meantime, never mind the fact that he's never once been contacted by Robert Mueller's team, but Roger Stone says he's "prepared" to be indicted as part of the Mueller investigation after they "conjure up some extraneous crime pertaining to my business."

* NO-NO-NO-NOTORIOUS: Elena Kagan isn't the only Supreme Court justice who's shown support for the new law clerk hiring plan.

Law firms better hurry up and start providing all of the warm and fuzzy things they want. [American Lawyer]
