Morning Docket: 06.21.17

* Everyone in the Trump administration who is in some way related to the Russia probe has now lawyered up with outside counsel, including the attorney general. AG Jeff Sessions is being represented by Chuck Cooper, a longtime champion of conservative causes. If you recall, Cooper also prepped Sessions for his confirmation hearing. [USA Today]

* Let's not go crazy: Earlier this week, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and outside counsel Keker & Van Nest were denied certiorari on the Lenz v. Universal Music case -- perhaps better known as the "dancing baby" case. Thanks to the SCOTUS decision, or lack thereof, we'll not know "whether or not the DMCA includes meaningful protections for online fair uses" anytime soon. [Law.com]

* Judge Gonzalo Curiel will not make a Trump University settlement objector post a $146,888 bond to pursue an appeal. Sherri Simpson, a Florida bankruptcy lawyer, paid $19,000 for Trump U. seminars and mentorship, but now she wants out so she can sue the president over the alleged fraud. [POLITICO]

"Generally a candidate would have to be pretty inflammatory or at risk to justify this kind of spending," said election law attorney Adam Bonin. [Legal Intelligencer via ABA Journal]

The law school will have to do without $500K in state appropriations if the legislature approves the move. Yes, that's the sound of your tuition going up. [News & Observer]
