Morning Docket: 07.18.18
* Special counsel Robert Mueller is seeking immunity for up to five witnesses who are set to testify in Paul Manafort's upcoming bank and tax fraud trial. Oooh, who are these mystery parties and why do they deserve amnesty? [USA Today]
* Just how conservative is Judge Brett Kavanaugh? Using Judicial Common Space scores, Kavanaugh lands "just to the left of the arch-conservative [Justice Clarence] Thomas." Yay. [FiveThirtyEight]
* Be careful out there, small firms. According to a report from the Association of International Law Firm Networks, it's not Biglaw firms that should be afraid of the Big Four, but instead, independent firms in mid-sized markets. [American Lawyer]
* Remember Evan Greebel, the ex-Biglaw partner who was convicted of conspiracy to commit wire and securities fraud thanks to his representation of pharma bro Martin Shkreli? Per his colleagues, after his "terrible encounter with the devil incarnate," Greebel shouldn't get jail time like his former client. [New York Law Journal]
* When it comes to law school applications, it's very helpful to know the difference between early decision (binding) and early action (nonbinding), but it's even more helpful to know the difference between out-of-state tuition (drowning in loans) and in-state tuition (treading water in loans). Do your research, applicants! [U.S. News]
* Robert Traurig, co-founder of Greenberg Traurig, RIP. [Daily Business Review]
