Morning Docket: 12.04.15

* It's only been two weeks since Charlie Sheen's HIV reveal, and the lawsuits are already starting to roll in. The actor's ex-fiancée is suing him for big bucks and claims he failed to disclose his status to her before having unprotected sex, which is a felony in California. [Deadline] * When you somehow avoid jail time by asserting an improbable "affluenza" defense after killing people in a drunk-driving wreck, it figures that your downfall comes via tweet. Start out your day by checking out the video of "ya boy ethan couch [allegedly] violating probation." [Dallas Morning News] * Remember the law prof who was banned from SUNY Buffalo Law's campus for allegedly violating its workplace violence policy and then sued the former dean for defamation? A judge has recommended that the case be dismissed. [Buffalo News] * Biglaw attorneys are descending upon the 21st annual Conference of the Parties (COP 21), because after all, they'll be able to entertain clients with tales about the legalities of renewables to cut greenhouse gas emissions. [Big Law Business / Bloomberg BNA] * Law school admins are confident the number of applicants will increase, and while fee waivers still abound, pre-law students are expecting the cycle to be "competitive." A pulse AND the ability to sign loan docs will now be required. [Daily Pennsylvanian]
