Happy drizzly Monday! Enjoy these law links, hand-picked by yours truly:

• This is what happens to alleged would-be car thieves in my neighborhood. HT: Baltimore Crime.
• Lois Finkelstein at the Maryland Divorce Legal Crier writes about what it feels like for a lawyer to hire a lawyer. Finkelstein’s experience did not go well.
• Ron Miller at the Maryland Lawyer Blog writes about everyone’s favorite Vicodin-for-fellatio lawyer: “I think the most logical question here is how on Earth did this guy get off with essentially a slap on the wrist?”
• Maryland’s protection order laws stink, says a Ms. magazine blogger. Thanks to Baltimore Crime (again) for the link.
• A few big law firms are pushing headhunters to accept lower fees because the market is saturated with job seekers. One firm is reportedly asking the recruiters it works with to accept less for placing associates with the firm if they have been laid off from other jobs.
