Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 06.25.18
* The Supreme Court is set to rule on six more cases this week, and one of them is President Trump’s Muslim travel ban. Stay tuned, because we could find out a decision on this one later this morning. [Reuters]
* President Trump has called for the immediate deportation of undocumented immigrants with “no judges or court cases.” Adios to due process, which was pretty cool while it lasted. [The Hill]
* Speaking of undocumented immigrants, Lawyers for Good Government has launched Project Corazon, a program led by Kirkland & Ellis, where attorneys will help reunite families that were separated at the border under President Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy. [ABA Journal]
* Valparaiso Law might not be going anywhere after all. As it turns out, Middle Tennessee State University is in talks to inherit the struggling law school program. MTSU isn’t buying the school or merging with it — no, this is going to be considered a “gift.” Mmmhmmm. [Chicago Tribune]
* Coming to a law firm near you is the Mansfield Rule 2.0, which aims to close the gap in leadership roles for LGTBQ+ attorneys in Biglaw. Fifty firms signed up for the original Mansfield Rule to promote the success of women, and 35 of those firms plus 11 new ones have joined to support LGTBQ+ attorneys. [American Lawyer]

* Allen & Overy partners fly to America for their annual meeting where they are definitely not talking about merging with O’Melveny because they’ve all denied that and law firms wouldn’t lie to us. [International]
* Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer closing in on a settlement in the long-running $214 million malpractice suit against them.
* Europe pondering a law that would screw up the Internet. Obviously. [WIRED]
