As we head into the holiday season, we have a mugshot you have to see to believe. Plus, prohibiting the publication of the phrase “monkey crotch,” the twenty dollar law firm, and criminalizing swearwords in England (or proposing your own new cussword). It’s the happy hour law review for Monday, November 21, 2011.

2Memo to attorneys taking a deposition in Pakistan in the near future: please refrain from texting “monkey crotch” to your client. It and 1,109 other English words are generally forbidden in text messages. | Lowering the Bar
3Big Legal Brain’s newest curmudgeon explains how you can start a law firm for less than twenty bucks, thought that does include a flyswatter and an Antonin Scalia bobblehead doll. | Big Legal Brain
