* A useful guide to all the lawyers involved in the Russia probe. You know, so you know which lawyers are about to be duped by spoof email accounts. [Law360] * The decision to fire a cyclist who flipped off the Trump motorcade was cowardly and ominous. It was also legal and probably a good business move for a government contractor serving a notoriously petty executive. [National Law Journal] * Clients may be bringing all their work in-house... but the efficiencies don't necessarily follow. [Legaltech News] * Is a landscaping dispute at the root of Rand Paul's whupping? [New York Times] * The Paradise Papers aren't going to put a stop to the offshore legal market unless someone tells Donald Trump that Barack Obama invented the offshore legal market. [American Lawyer] * Millennials now dominate the legal profession, but what change will they bring? [Law.com] * For legal academics, remember to post information about job searches here.

* Daaaammmmn. Some serious shade as Greenberg Traurig CEO Richard Rosenbaum takes a swipe at Dentons. Video below the jump. * Lamar Odom is still technically married to Khloe Kardashian, thereby giving his estranged wife authority when it comes to medical decisions. Good, because I think we were all hoping a man's tragic health crisis could be fodder for May Sweeps. [Eonline] * Linklaters is "internally crowdsourcing" to find a solution to provide a better work-life balance. Jesus. Bring on the necessary resources to cap any individual's work week at 60 billable hours and move on. Anything less is just an invitation to rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic. [Law360] * Looks like NPR's hit podcast Serial is ready for a second season. [The Onion] * Dewey think these deliberations will ever end? [The Am Law Daily] * Ah, the life of in-house counsel: writing bitchy emails to customers telling them how stupid they are. [L.A. Times] * Rand Paul explains how "liberty" works for gay people. [Gawker] * Before joining a class action, make sure aren't advertising your own criminal behavior to authorities. [Times-Picayune] * And here's that Greenberg Traurig-Dentons swipe. This strikes me as an ill-considered decision given that Dentons is known as a firm that doesn't start fights, but sure as f**k ends them. [Big Law Business / Bloomberg BNA]
