Funny, Funny Judges @laphamsquart

Lapham's Quarterly offers this selection of interesting footnotes from cases, some well-known, some obscure. Included is a Ninth Circuit case that introduces the phrase, "Holy Copyright Law, Batman!" to the legal lexicon, and a cite to "Who Let the Dogs Out?" with the wry comment from Judge Philip S. Straniere that although the song "allegedly has nothing to do with canines[,] ...I have not been able to understand the lyrics to any song written since the Fillmore East closed, I have appropriated the title solely to make a point and will ignore the content of the song."
