law porn

Advertising material sent by one law school to faculty at others, in the effort to improve its "peer ranking" score in the U.S. News & World Report annual law school rankings. The effort is generally considered ineffective and wasteful. Public reports credit Professor Pamela Karlan of Stanford Law School with coining the term (and disapproving of the practice).
Prof. 1: "Did you see that ridiculous law porn today from XYZ Law School?"

Prof. 2: "Nah. I don't hardly even read my school mail any more, since it's gotten so full of that crap."

Steve's Law

Any debate of any minority in the public eye, will eventually lead to the person with an opposing opinion being labeled as anti-minority (e.g. racist, feminist) by the person that can't backup their opinion outside of feelings.
Me: You know, I really don't like the affordable care act, I'd prefer to have an actual choice in my health care.
You: But the affordable care act provides healthcare to millions of people.
Me: Well, most of those were people already enrolled in medicare programs. Do you know how many people have lost health care or have had increased premiums as a result of Affordable Care laws?
You: You're just a racist.
Me: You've invoked Steve's Law and have forfeited the argument.

mulaney's law

Mildly inconvenienced people, typically white, comparing relatively harmless, "insults," to the n-word. This is in relation to a quote by John Mulaney, which goes, "If you're comparing the badness of two words, and you won't even say one of them, that's the worse word."
First, "ok boomer," was controversial, and now I can't say Karen? Mulaney's Law strikes again!

Andrew's Law

As the assets under management of an investment company goes up, the name gets equally dumber.
