Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 07.16.15

* No pudding pops for you, POTUS! When President Obama answered a question about the possibility of revoking Bill Cosby's Medal of Freedom, he more or less insinuated that the comedian was a rapist, saying this country should "have no tolerance" for it. [New York Times] * "He was acting like a clown." Even if you reportedly act like a complete and total drunk idiot while hitting on a partner's wife at your would-be law firm's holiday party, it's still possible that you'll get a job if your dad has political ties and allegedly makes certain promises to the firm. [Journal News] * Everyone's eager to make the jump to an in-house job after years in Biglaw, but many forget the comp scheme is different from what they're used to. Some in-house earners, however, blow away the competition. We'll have more on this later. [Corporate Counsel] * One of the most important lessons that can be learned from the D&L debacle is that “[g]igantic law firms have a major Achilles’ heel.” When attorneys flee in droves, it can really upset the balance, and boy, Dewey know what a pain that can be. [WSJ Law Blog] * If you think all New York City firms will only hire from elite law schools that make up the U.S. News T14, then think again. This prominent real estate boutique seeks to "hire the best candidates based purely on merit, not aristocracy." Refreshing. [Huffington Post]
