Mike Rowe

How does a lawyer really stop being a practicing lawyer?

* The importance of firm toilets. [Legal Cheek] * JFK University is holding “Saturday Law School” at a shopping mall. They’ll be down by the “Macy’s and California Pizza Kitchen.” [Pleasanton Weekly] * Professor David Bernstein from GMU Law explains how sex works. Basically, unless you’re dealing with prostitutes, the proper way to deal with women is to just stick it in and see what happens. [Gawker] * "Noticing that different people look differently = innate human observation a little girl can do. Ascribing vastly different levels of trustworthiness based on skin color = police work." [ATL Redline] * Michelle MacDonald, the GOP nominee for Minnesota Supreme Court, has a pending DWI and an old contempt arrest, which she blows off with the line, “You can play foosball in the court when a judge isn’t there.” Picking real winners there, Minnesota. [Politics in Minnesota] * Cocaine gave this lawyer 9 lives. [Missouri Lawyers Weekly (sub. req.] * Mike Rowe decides not to take a lawyer’s advice. [IJ Review] * The Supreme Court was pretty good to the environment yesterday. Something must have been wrong. [Grist]

This may come as a shock, but professional sports just may be exploiting labor.
