Morning Docket: 08.24.15

* It looks like the other slutty shoe has officially dropped. Two law firms have filed a $578 million class-action lawsuit against adultery dating site Ashley Madison for breaching their clients' privacy rights. Impact Team must be thrilled. [TIME] * Gov. Chris Christie says that if he's elected president, he won't nominate anyone with a Harvard Law or Yale Law degree to SCOTUS. Non-Ivy law schools better start priming and primping their most successful grads on the off chance Christie gets the nod. [CBS News] * Case Western Law decided that two heads are better than one, because Jessica Berg and Michael Scharf were just permanently appointed to serve as co-deans. We can't think of any other law school with a dynamic duo of deans like this. [Crain's Cleveland Business] * In Biglaw, romantic wranglings can follow you beyond the grave: Thomas Hale Boggs Jr.'s estate is doing battle with a woman who claims she had a relationship with the former head of Patton Boggs -- and now she wants some of his property. [National Law Journal] * He may be "used to playing on a different court," but Michael Jordan really took it to the hole on this case. Defunct grocery store Dominick's Finer Foods must now pay the sports star $8.9 million for using his name in a steak ad without his permission. [NBC News]
