Ed. Note: Happy New Year everybody! As you can see, we’re closing up shop early today and we’ll be off on Monday.
* Football player career ends before the Belk Bowl after he’s caught shoplifting… from Belk. Hey, that sensible Southern-inspired activewear wasn’t going to buy itself! [ESPN]
* Some “assorted stupidity” to get you into the new year. [Lowering the Bar]
* Motorized wheelchairs are not motor vehicles for the purposes of a DUI prosecution. So go ahead and get grandma loaded tomorrow night. [How Appealing]
* Speaking of Oregon, the “free speech” uproar over the sanction of Professor Blackface may make some valid points, but they also wildly overstate the case. [Lawyers, Guns & Money]
* The Supreme Court may be picking up some steam in the new year. [Empirical SCOTUS]
* Local lawyer competes on Wheel of Fortune. “Inconsistency is my very essence” — says the wheel — “Raise yourself up on my spokes if you wish, but don’t complain when you plunge back down.” To quote Boethius. [Rochester Democrat & Chronicle]

It kind of comes down to how much you believe in the efficiency value of the “American Rule.” [That's My Argument] * The eternal question for female lawyers: do you dye your hair or embrace the gray? [Gray Hair] * Boston’s drivers suck. [The Faculty Lounge] * A well-written tribute to a Nashville civil rights lawyer. [Nashville Scene] * This seems like a place to remind people that David’s going to Houston next month. [Above the Law] * Here’s a new game to check out. It’s a twisted dirty word game called F**ktionary (affiliate link), so obviously it was made by a lawyer.
