• And you thought those models were going hungry by choice… – MarketWatch.
• If his boss hadn’t put him on the feminine hormones he could’ve avoided the cross-dressing and that gay affair. Kind of gives new meaning to “on the basis of sex”. – The Guardian.
• Atty General: “I’m resigning not because I’m a quitter.” No, you’re resigning because you owe $3.7 million to the employees you arbitrarily replaced on racial grounds, lost witnesses and dismissed the 2 biggest cases on the docket, then housed an armed robbery suspect in your house. Only in New Orleans. – L.A. Times

Recent Settlements:

• B&H Video in New York: $4.3 Million – Gothamist
• Chevron: $5.5 Million – San Jose Mercury News
• Morgan Stanley: $46 Mil. And no, we’re not missing a decimal point. – Investment News

We here at Current Employment are constantly making strides in our ultimate goal of turning our blog into a freshman high school girl’s Myspace page. To that end, here are some online quizzes on how well you know your employment law:

Atlanta-based Ford & Harrison has a slick-looking quiz here to get you started.

Here’s one on tutor2u.com that plays like a midterm – if your law school had midterms.

Baker & McKenzie supplied the information for this NLRA-based quiz, though the website it’s on isn’t exactly screaiming “multi-billion dollar law firm” or anything.

Think you’ve got employment law down? None of this a challenge? Try this quiz at XpertHR, a UK human resources site, or this one brought to you by Blackadders Solicitors.

Who’s on top now, huh, fancypants?

Any more we missed, feel free to link to in the comments.
