Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 10.02.18
* Police questioned Brett Kavanaugh over a bar fight he and Chris Dudley apparently got into -- wait, Chris Dudley? This whole "Brett + Alcohol = Violence" equation is becoming a pattern. And a pattern he lies about under oath. [NY Times]
* Department of Justice sues California over its net neutrality law. So much for states' rights. [Courthouse News Service]
* Law firms are merging at a record pace. This should probably worry people more. [American Lawyer]
* This reads more like an exam question than real life. Is it a trademark violation to spell fiance as Feyoncé when selling engagement gifts? What if we add that they also sold stuff that references "Single Ladies"? [Law360]
* Sidley Austin earns less than the midlevel exception. Or about what Chris Dudley was worth. [American Lawyer]
* The Supreme Court is open for business. Will they further limit access to justice this Term? Probably, yeah. [National Law Journal]
* "SEC Suit Over Elon Musk's Tweets Sets an Example for Execs Online." Indeed: Don't Date Grimes. [Corporate Counsel]
