This piece on people flocking to Death Valley when it is approaching record-setting temperatures, naturally includes, but who else, an attorney. At least he’s from California. [RJ]
Here’s a profile on a trial tech from Lawyer Solutions Group who ignores the directions of Sheldon Adelson to deliver what the trial attorney expected. [RJ]
And then here’s a profile on two general coun$el for gaming companies: Timothy Donovan at Ceasars Entertainment, and Brian Larson at Boyd Gaming. [Las Vegas Sun]
Federal student loan interest rates have doubled, but don’t panic, a fix is likely to happen in the next few week. [Las Vegas Sun]
I'll admit that despite my massive amounts of student loan debt, I'm still ignorant as to how this interest rate change will affect me, if at all. I'm assuming the lower rate won't affect people like me who got their student loans at 6.8%? And there's no way to consolidate my 6.8% loans down to the 3.4% rate, from what I can tell.
For some reason nobody was complaining back when I was in law school at the high interest rates. I look back at the idiot I was in law school when I thought student loans were "free money" and I wish I could go back in time and kick some sense into myself.

6.8%?? Heck, many of us old timers had loans with an 8% fixed rate, 10 year term.

The rate for grad loans has been constant at 6.8% for quite some time.
Congress has been playing a game where they temporarily lower the undergrad rate from 6.8 to 3.4 for a short period of time. Then at the end of that time, there is another political battle and more mileage.

Yeah, but I'm guessing your tuition was also miniscule compared to what most people are paying for law school these days. I'd rather have $30k in debt at 8% than $100k at 6.8%.
