Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 10.03.17
* The Supreme Court declined to hear a case about vending machines and the ADA. This isn’t such a big deal right now, but with tech gurus trying to turn America into a vending machine hellscape, this was a good opportunity for the Court to get out ahead of the curve. But we all knew that wasn’t going to happen. [Law.com]
* I think this is supposed to sound heroic, but the story of lawyers in Fort Lauderdale racing against Hurricane Irma to close a deal just seems like a cautionary tale about becoming a lawyer. But, you know, good for them for getting it done. [Daily Business Review]
* Trio of top-flight prosecutors leave the SDNY to form Krieger Kim & Lewin LLP. That’s 30 years of combined talent walking out of the SDNY all at once. And some impressive stories. Plots to assassinate ambassadors? The bin Laden case? A bevy of corrupt state officials? Hey guys, things might be a little less exciting for a couple months. [NY Times]
* Meanwhile, the former EDNY U.S. Attorney, Robert Capers, joins Arent Fox. [Wall Street Journal]
* Novel takes on a fantastic premise: a likable Biglaw protagonist. [Amazon (affiliate link)]
* A group of lawyers are driving an anti-gay agenda? What firm did they crawl out from? Oh… right. Obviously. [The Careerist]
* If you didn’t catch it over the weekend, WNYC’s More Perfect is back taking a deeper dive into Supreme Court. Check out Elie Mystal interviewing Judge Posner in this episode on Korematsu. Wow, Judge Posner is astoundingly nihilistic about courts. [More Perfect]
