Morning Docket: 11.18.16
* Siding with prosecution and without explaining its reasoning, the Seventh Circuit has delayed the release of "Making a Murderer" subject Brendan Dassey, ordering that he remain incarcerated "pending the outcome of the appeal" in his case. Dassey's conviction was overturned in August; he was set to be released today. [Reuters]
* According to some sources, we may have a full Supreme Court bench by the end of the current term, but at this point, it's really a matter of "who President Trump nominates and what kind of 'payback' the Democrats decide to exact for having lost the election and for the Senate’s having held up the Merrick Garland nomination." [Big Law Business]
* For the first time, the ranking Republican and Democratic lawmakers leading the Senate Judiciary Committee will be non-lawyers. Senators Chuck Grassley and Dianne Feinstein will not only review judicial appointments, but they'll also have Department of Justice, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security oversight. [Wall Street Journal]
* Rather than issuing a grant or denial, the ABA will continue to review the University of North Texas at Dallas College of Law's application for accreditation. What does this mean for the school's third-year students? The administration hopes the Texas Supreme Court will allow them to take the state bar exam in July 2017. [Dallas Business Journal]
* "[University leadership] need to be ashamed of themselves. … [They showed a] total lack of consideration for the lives of the staff and faculty." People are pretty angry about the impending closure of Indiana Tech Law School, including its benefactors, and some of them want refunds. We may have more on this at a later time. [Indiana Lawyer]
