Non-Sequiturs, O.J. Simpson, United Kingdom / Great Britain
Non-Sequiturs: 10.29.13
* First things first: remember to send us your legally themed Halloween costumes! [Above the Law] * George Clooney may be dating the “hottest female barrister in London.” [Legal Cheek] * This painting suggests there’s a senior partner who gets away with wearing sandals to work. [Lowering the Bar] * This is a really useful practice tip: how to cite URLs in briefs without having them look all messed up. [The Volokh Conspiracy] * O.J. Simpson’s house sold at a foreclosure auction for a mere $655,000. This must be a disappointing deal for him — I’m sure he expected to make a killing. [Daily Business Review] * Blackacre blocks access to a public beach. But the owner of Blackacre uses the Mexican-American War as an excuse to ignore the easement. Apparently he wins. People are also entirely awful. [Valleywag] * I also hate when McDonald's screws up my order, but it's not worth getting the police involved. [Legal Juice] -

I thought they could only do that in terrible movies. [Before It's News] * A Southern District of Florida clerk is named one of Southern Florida’s most eligible bachelors. Our bachelor “claims to be the other white meat” and to “have a lot in common with Christian Grey.” He doesn’t sound douchey at all. [Brickell Magazine (jump to page 91)] * Comparing Chicago Law faculty to Game of Thrones characters produces surprisingly accurate results. [UChilawgo] * With law schools raising tuition and the profession shrinking… more people need to rush to law school. Keep sipping that sweet, sweet Kool-Aid, buddy.
