Morning Docket: 06.22.16

* OK Cravathketeers! Sound off if you raised salaries yesterday. Greenberg Traurig (sort of)! Olshan (consistent with its existing scale)! Stroock! Haynes and Boone! [Above the Law / 2016 Salary Increase] * Second Circuit nixes former Bryan Cave attorney Harvey Newkirk's effort to put off jail. [Law360] * Armed with well-compensated associates, Latham & Watkins targets laterals to its partnership. [The Am Law Daily] * Some questionable reasoning on the value of law school. Sure there are haves and have nots. But the conclusion is basically, "hey, a senator went to a mediocre law school, so... I guess those work out." Not exactly encouraging. Especially when your example of a successful law grad is a guy who faced questions raised over his ability to cover his personal expenses. [New York Times] * The defense rested yesterday in the ongoing Led Zeppelin trial. I'm sure the closing will sound vaguely like someone else's closing argument and spur another stupid lawsuit. [Courthouse News Service] * The ABA really likes Judge Merrick Garland. I'm sure that will melt hearts on Capitol Hill. [WSJ Law Blog] * Our compatriots across the pond talked Brexit with Shearman & Sterling partners [Legal Cheek]
