Morning Docket: 09.25.17

* It's Long Conference Day. For the unaware, this is arguably the most important day of the year for Supreme Court hero-worshippers, as the Court reads and evaluates around 2000 petitions and doesn't at all phone it in (no matter what the statistics say) because they're MAGIC! [Constitution Daily] * Months into his new job -- a job that requires a public financial disclosure -- Ty Cobb hasn't yet figured out if he made $5 million or $25 million at Hogan Lovells. Maybe Don McGahn is hiding that information from him too. [Law.com] * Lawyer accused of flashing girl's basketball teams. This is all just a big misunderstanding -- if his buddies had shown up, it would have been obvious he was just they'd spelled out "Go Team!" on their balls. [Indy Star] * Jared Kushner apparently used his private email for some White House business. It doesn't sound like a big deal at all, but that's not going to prevent everyone from freaking out about it. [Huffington Post] * Convicted Hunton partner seeks probation in securities fraud case. The government is asking for 51 to 64 months in prison so at least the two sides are pretty close here. [Law360] * NBC is developing a Supreme Court show following the clerks. It'll be like The West Wing, except with standing and patent disputes! [Law.com] * Speaking of the Supreme Court, in what ways are the top law firms making it to the Supreme Court? [Empirical SCOTUS]
