Morning Docket 02.20.09
* Lobbyist Vicki Iseman settled her suit with the New York Times. The NYT will run a note in today’s paper explaining that it did not intend to insinuate that Iseman and John McCain had gotten it on. Iseman and the Times are a bit at odds over the meaning of their joint statement though. [BLT]
* Texas Judge Sharon Keller is on the hot seat for going home early the day a stay of execution was going to be filed. [Houston Chronicle]
* Just when you thought Eliot Spitzer’s name would appear in the news only as a byline on Slate, the prostitution prosecution will unseal court records that may change that. Judge Jed Rakoff ordered the hand-off of wire records on Spitzer to the New York Times. [New York Times]
* Does your firm have a best friend in India? [The Lawyer]
* Former federal prosecutor, Deutsche Bank lawyer, and Boston University Law grad Robert Khuzami will head up the enforcement division of the Securities and Exchange Commission. That’s a big job these days. [Washington Post]
* Swiss Bank UBS agreed to disclose the names of 250 tax-evaders to the Department of Justice earlier this week. But the U.S. would like a few more names. Like 52,000 more. [Courthouse News Service]

This is all fine and dandy but when do the layoffs start?
She is cute. a little seasoned but still pretty hot, let's face it.
he is not "heading up" the SEC. He is enforcement director
Khuzami is going to run the Enforcement Division, not the whole SEC. Still a big job, and Linda Chatman Thomsen didn't really leave the house in order.
that judge is a cold-hearted bitch.
What is the world coming to, when you can't even hide your money in a Swiss bank account.....
I would hit that, my friends.
Morning docket brought to you by Practical Law Company? Apologies if I'm wrong on this, but if they're giving you ad money I would think that you should have disclosed that in your fluff piece on them yesterday. I was a test mule on their site in the US and for the price they wanted their service wasn't all that, so I was wondering why you gushed all over them.
Again, apologies if this means something other than what it looks like.
8, you are an idiot if the headline alone didn't tip you off yesterday. regardless, there WAS a disclosure, you illiterate ass. you must be one heck of an attorney.
"seasoned"? What does that mean? Just because she has blond hair does NOT make her hot.
