Welcome to Monday, the start of a week that features the two-day July Maryland bar exam. To those who are getting in their final hours of studying, I say good luck and just remember that the bar exam is a test of minimum competence, just like a road test. If that doesn’t set your mind at ease, this should: I passed the Maryland bar exam.

Here are a few news items to begin your week.

— Holy trademark infringement, Batman! Organizers of comic-book conventions clash over name.

— Yes, Virginia, former Gov. Bob McDonnell’s corruption trial begins today.

— Obama administration seeks to shield information about group that opposes Iran.

— Court in The Hague orders Russia to pay $50 billion to former oil-company shareholders.
