Morning Docket: 01.26.16

* Martin Shkreli's hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has been rescheduled due to this weekend's blizzard. This will give the reviled pharma bro even more time to brush up on constitutional law. [CBS News] * Uh-oh! Thanks to some "cash flow issues" -- like partners not being paid on time -- King & Wood Mallesons is currently in the process of raising capital and will be conducting a review of its overall financial structure. [Big Law Business / Bloomberg] * Cert denied! The justices of the Supreme Court may have bought these lawyers' arguments and struck down a crucial part of the Voting Rights Act in the Shelby County case, but they're certainly not buying their request for $2 million in legal fees. [Reuters] * A hate crime without a resolution? Police are closing their investigation into the defacement of black professors' portraits at Harvard Law without having found a perp. Maybe they decided to take Elie Mystal's advice not to feed the trolls. [Boston.com] * Florida State settled a lawsuit filed by Erica Kinsman, a former student who claimed Jameis Winston raped her, for $900K, but the school claims $700K of that amount will go to her legal team. Her lawyers, however, would politely beg to differ. [USA Today]
