Quick Shucks – 4/30/09

First, we have updates on two of our more-popular recent stories.

The B-school student who altered his law-school transcript after flunking out of medical school deserves worse than a three-year suspension, according to chief counsel for the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission.  He wants Loren Friedman disbarred.  [HT: AmLaw Daily]

We wrote about the shenanigans going on with the popular vote in the Time 100 Most Influential People List.  Time gave up and declared “moot,” founder of the 4chan.org site whence the hackers came, the winner.  He beat out the likes of Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin, and Oprah Winfrey.  Time helpfully offers the tidbit that “everyone moot beat out actually has a job.”  [HT: TechCrunch]

On to the regular Quick Shucks:

• Brian Fetterolf, a ‘96 BC Law grad, has joined the ranks of the Wall Street Journal’s “Laid off and Looking” blog.  He’s been doing real-estate investment banking of late, though.
• “GCs Dislike Billable Hours System.”  In other news, sun rises.
• You can now enjoy Black’s Law Dictionary on your iPhone.  It would be more useful if it were on the Blackberry, though.
