Morning Docket: 04.25.14
* Mmm, the taste of money. Kirkland & Ellis and Ropes & Gray are assisting in TPG Capital’s $750M investment in Chobani, a Greek yogurt everyone (except me) absolutely loves. [Am Law Daily]
* A partner from the DebtStoppers law firm was arrested earlier this week after he was accused of refusing to pay a $950 bar tab. Well, we guess that’s one way to stop debt. [RedEye Chicago]
* The FBI raided an Ohio law firm this week, possibly in connection with a client’s murder outside its doors and one of its attorneys calling in a courthouse bomb threat. [Northeast Ohio Media Group]
* Canadian karma: As it turns out, graduates of the newly approved Trinity Western University Law School won’t be able to practice law in Ontario because of the school’s “abhorrent” anti-gay policies. [GlobalPost]
* Tony Buzbee, regent of the Texas A&M System, donated $1M to Texas A&M Law to fund the Johnny Football Endowed Chair. Okay, not really, but it’d be a lot cooler if he did. [Fort Worth Star-Telegram]

What Happens When You Get Engaged Too Soon? You Get Sued
Here we have the case of a doctor and a hot blonde who got engaged after knowing each other for only five months. That was probably mistake number one. But hey, he liked it and he put a ring on it -- a four-carat ring, in fact. Now, diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but contrary to the title of that James Bond movie, they aren't forever. They broke up about a month after they got engaged. It looks like the doctor took the break-up really hard, because he sued five days later....
