* An interesting look at the life and career of Gloria Allred -- who has litigated groundbreaking civil rights cases as well as TMZ fodder. [Coverage Opinions] * Lawyer Jose Baez intends to investigate the death of his client Aaron Hernandez, who was found dead in his prison cell after apparently hanging himself. [Deadspin] * Footnote of the day (gavel bang: Raffi Melkonian aka @RMFifth Circuit). [Twitter] * Professor Jonathan Adler still has doubts about the Emoluments Clause lawsuit against President Trump (although it's much stronger now, thanks to some additional plaintiffs). [Volokh Conspiracy / Washington Post] * Professor Glenn Reynolds has some doubts about diversity (although I suspect he strongly supports intellectual diversity). [Instapundit] * Professor Ann Althouse has her doubts about... Democrats (even though she has voted for more Democrats than Republicans over the years). [Althouse] * And Professor Eugene Volokh has his doubts about the constitutionality of this order. [Volokh Conspiracy / Washington Post] * In honor of national haiku poetry day, here are some verses from Dean Dan Rodriguez of Northwestern Law. [PrawfsBlawg] * Congrats to the ACLU of Massachusetts, the national ACLU, the state public defender’s office, and Fick & Marx LLP on a huge and historic win! [ACLU]

* Has technology created a real-life Lord of the Flies? [Law and More] * "The Love Song of J. Anthony Kennedy" -- a SCOTUS-themed spoof on "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." I'm just happy we live in a world where these things exist. [Green Bag] * Are you tired of all those pretentious hipsters who pretend that soccer (yes, asshole, we live in America and it's called f*cking soccer here) is the only "real" sport? Yeah, so is the DOJ. [Sidebars] * What's the best way to deal with the dreaded performance review? [Corporette] * SCOTUS is tiptoeing around race in this term's voting rights case. [Talking Points Memo]
