UCLA Law Dean Michael Schill to become dean at Chicago Law, effective January 1, 2010. Leiter gloats; Bainbridge mourns. (See Dan's post on this here).
The Boston Globe reports that some professors are giving their courses a sexier name to increase student enrollment. Historiann and Daniel Solove have begun renaming the curriculum accordingly. I’ll give my courses a shot as well, though I’m even worse at course titles than article titles:
Financial Derivatives – I’ll Stop The World And Melt With You?
Taboo Trades & Forbidden Markets -- already a pretty sexy title, I have to say. But perhaps Selling Bodies, Their Fluids, and Their Parts might be an improvement? (I think not, sometimes less is more).
Will greed still be good? Oliver Stone making the Wall Street sequel.
Al Roth on federal judicial law clerk hiring and its periodic unraveling.
Vanity Fair on the TARP funds.
Law Librarian Blog on the first U.S. internet addiction center.

And from Law Is Cool, Blawg Review #228, which is a clever mashup of 100 blawg posts.
