Winners and losers in the world of law

Two random recent stories from the legal realm caught my notice:

• An appeals court granted visitation rights to a lesbian co-mom, denying the effect of tensions between the separated women. (Anybody ever divorce without them?)
  
  
• A federal judge in Alabama has decided not to take any more clerks from Yale because he's upset with the Yale Law School's restrictions on campus military recruitment. Somehow, I think those students will struggle their way to success, despite his, um, courageous stand...

Ya' win some, ya' lose some.
