Per LSAC, almost 3 percent more people have applied to law schools than last year at this time. [WSJ Law Blog] * This is why more firms don't hold IPOs: Slater & Gordon, the first firm to go public, may face two shareholder class-action suits -- one for allegedly misleading investors and the other for its terrible performance on the market. [Guardian] * As 2015 draws to a close, it's very obvious that Dentons had a "transformative" year as it gobbled up law firms left and right, and 2016 will be no different. The firm has its eyes set on Japan, Korea, Chile, Argentina, Peru, and Africa.

[New York Times] * UC Hastings College of Law has appointed an acting chancellor and dean in Frank Wu's wake. Let's welcome David L. Faigman to the world of law school administration. Hopefully he can ease the school out of its current bar exam passage funk. [UC Hastings] * Joe Jamail, richest lawyer in America, King of Torts and depos, RIP. [New York Times]
