* Baylor Law School out of compliance with ABA standards. [KWTX]
* But the good news is that some other schools are back in compliance! [ABA Journal]
* O’Melveney explains how expansion pushed them into a billion-dollar firm this year. We’ve said this before, but as we wait for the Am Law 200, make note of these stories because it’s “the notes they’re not playing” — every peer firm that’s not rushing to tell their story to the American Lawyer right now is probably sitting on some iffy numbers. [Law.com]

So we’re all fine. [AL.com]
* The EU is coming for Asiago. [Bloomberg Law News]
* Supreme Court throws head in sand and refuses to consider that FedEx might have a workforce that crosses state borders… as a delivery company. [Reuters]
