* Governor Chris Christie was worried America didn't realize he has no respect for his constituents and is a complete fake, so he's publicly rooting for the Dallas Cowboys over any of the three teams real New Jersey residents root for. He's also possibly violating ethics rules. [The Legal Blitz / ATL Redline] * Screech is going to trial. [Associated Press / Yahoo! News] * New dean at USC. Who is it? [USC Gould School of Law] * As the Supreme Court stares down the barrel of some highly political cases, will Chief Justice Roberts live up to his promise of non-partisanship? [Chicago Sun-Times] * Judge Richard Kopf reviews our own Mark Hermann's book, The Curmudgeon's Guide to Practicing Law (affiliate link). The verdict? It's curmudgeon-y. [Hercules and the Umpire] * David appeared on MSNBC's The Docket today to discuss Supreme Ambitions (affiliate link). [MSNBC] * The GOP is very, very against using the popular vote to elect a president which they characterize as an effort to "steal the presidency." Seriously. [Concurring Opinions]

[TaxProf Blog] * Following up on the release of the July 2014 California bar results, here's a breakdown that includes an examination of first-time vs. repeater results. [Bar Exam Stats] * President adopts a werewolf. There's one important reason you haven't seen this on Fox News yet. [Lowering the Bar] * Want to test yourself with a Con Law final exam about Ebola?
