[Charleston Gazette-Mail] * Moot Court: the movie! Unleash your inner gunner and check out this documentary next month. [DOC NYC] * Roadkill: it's what's for dinner (and apparently there's no law or regulation against this). [Grub Street / New York Magazine] * Professor Michael Koehler on "The Uncomfortable Truths and Double Standards of Bribery Enforcement" (beyond the FCPA). [FCPA Professor] * Nationwide Layoff Watch: sports bloggers. Grantland, RIP. [Bloomberg] * ICYMI, here's your chance to be a D.C. judge (Superior Court, not D.D.C. or D.C. Cir.). [D.C. Judicial Nomination Commission] * Elsewhere in interesting employment opportunities, Practical Law / Thomson Reuters is looking for an experienced IP lawyer to join its Intellectual Property & Technology Service. [Glassdoor] * We wish all our readers a happy (and safe) Halloween -- and remind you to submit legally themed costumes in our annual competition. [Above the Law]
