Morning Docket: 03.06.15

* Per a recent Super Lawyers survey, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the Supreme Court justice with whom the nation's top lawyers would most like to share a lunch date. Come on, admit it: you just want to get wasted with the Notorious R.B.G. [TIME] * Perhaps in anticipation of a SCOTUS ruling on the constitutionality of same-sex marriage, states across the country are dreaming up legislation that would allow businesses to refuse service to gay couples. Man, we're such jerks. [New York Times] * Taking over China with its Dacheng merger wasn't enough for Dentons, and what's now the largest firm in the world by attorney headcount still wants to conquer the United States. Dentons is trying to woo McKenna Long & Aldridge, again. [Am Law Daily] * Dewey know which firm's ex-COO is denying knowledge of any financial funny business? Defense lawyers for D&L's former top brass are now relying on his statements that staffers may have been inept, but surely weren't doing anything illegal. [New York Law Journal] * Remember that BARBRI antitrust class-action settlement that was reached almost a decade ago? The lawyers and law firms involved are still fighting over legal fees in the case, namely how many millions they think they ought to receive. [National Law Journal]
