This weekend’s reading assignment

… is Posner’s recent opinion in Cavel International, Inc v. Lisa Madigan. Posner reluctantly upheld Illinois’ recent law banning the slaughter of horses for human food purposes.

Some highlights to look forward to: (1) the picture of the lion eating a birthday cake on page 11, (2) Bo Derek on page 14.

If you are going to commit a crime, do it big and make sure you can throw one hell of a party afterwards.

bowling preview, week 1

Now we can get down to it. Bowling season is finally here, and the team can swing into action. Based on who showed up to the preview week, I think we can safely say that most of Gutter v. Bowlinger’s competition will be 1Ls. They’re going to lack the key experience which makes GvB a force in the law school league. They’re on our turf: we know what kind of nachos to order, how to keep people from getting confused over whose beer glass is whose, and how to work the alley computer. We’re returning three starters this year, and most of the bowlers we’ll be facing will be rookies who won’t know where to rent shoes or how to get the attention of the server.

I’m predicting a strong showing this week, as the experience factor is in full effect for Week One.

holy crap

salary graph
ELS Blog: Distribution of 2006 Starting Salaries: Best Graphic Chart of the Year

This graph is somewhat confusing. Note especially the median salary line, which is way off towards the left, leading me to think that the left hump on the graph ought to be much bigger.
