Morning Docket: 02.07.17

* Judge William C. Canby Jr, Judge Michelle T. Friedland, and Judge Richard R. Clifton will hear tonight's oral argument on Trump's travel ban. Or should we say they're the "so-called judges" who will hear tonight's argument. [CNN] * Weil Gotshal announces significant gains in both revenues and profits. No associates were mangled in the making of this news. [Am Law Daily] * Former Bio-Rad GC Sanford Wadler wins big in his whistleblower retaliation case. Bio-Rad has attempted to cast him as a jerk who yelled at his underlings, but the jury realized that just made him "a lawyer" and not a justification to terminate him. [Corporate Counsel] * Vizio settled with the FTC over turning all of their customers into unwitting "Nielsen Families." But you should still be worried about that toaster that's been spying on you. [Litigation Daily] * Dewey still even care about this case? [Law360] * Gibson Dunn opens a Houston office because oil and gas are still big business. [Texas Lawyer] * You may have seen the viral post about a subway car full of New Yorkers who go to work scrubbing swastika graffiti off the walls. The man who started the effort was Wilson Elser associate Gregory Locke. [Am Law Daily]
