Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 07.24.19
* Donald Trump seems particularly irritated that former special counsel Robert Mueller will be testifying today before the House Intelligence and Judiciary Committees on the “witch hunt” that’s plagued his presidency. Get ready for a tweetstravaganza! [CNN]
* Professor Amy Wax of Penn Law has been professionally scolded by the dean of the school after condemning her recent comments as racist and “repugnant,” and now comes news that she’ll soon be taking a previously scheduled — but awfully conveniently timed — sabbatical. [Law.com]
* But before you get too excited, Professor Wax says that she has “no plans” to leave Penn Law on a permanent basis. In fact, here’s what she said about the speculation that she’d be leaving for good: “The students need me. When I’m gone, the place goes full North Korea. (It’s 95% there).” [Big Law Business]
* Professor Bruce Hay of Harvard Law gets taken for the ride of his life after an alleged paternity trap left him homeless, out of work thanks to sexual harassment claims, and up to his eyeballs in litigation. [The Cut / New York Magazine]
* This personal finance website wants to know: What is Biglaw, and what kind of salary should you expect? Very cute! If you want to know the real deal, you happen to be looking at the website that most closely tracks Biglaw salaries. [Nerdwallet]
* Xi Chen, the bus driver who struck and killed Kimberly Greer, a law clerk at the Southern District of New York, took a no-jail plea deal earlier this week. He’ll lose his license for six months and must pay $1K in fines. [New York Post]
