Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 01.19.17
* The Seventh Circuit -- in an opinion by Judge Diane Sykes, a top-tier SCOTUS possibility under President Trump -- just struck down Chicago ordinances regulating shooting ranges as violative of Second Amendment rights. [ABC News]
* Speaking of firearms, law professor Fredrick Vars has an excellent proposal for preventing gun suicides. [Washington Post]
* Possible good news for legalizing sports betting in New Jersey: the U.S. Supreme Court wants to hear from the solicitor general on this issue (although we don't yet know who the solicitor general will be). [How Appealing]
* But we think we know who the principal deputy solicitor general will be -- Noel Francisco, whose imminent departure from Jones Day is now public. [National Law Journal]
* In other Justice Department news, what can we expect from Jeff Sessions's DOJ in terms of civil rights enforcement? [New York Times]
* Are we seeing a "fragile recovery" in the number of people interested in law school? [ABA Journal]
* If you share my curiosity about the future of Chief Judge Merrick Garland in the wake of his unsuccessful SCOTUS nomination, it seems that the distinguished jurist is back on the bench -- at least for now. [National Law Journal]
