Morning Docket: 06.21.18
* Michael Cohen resigns his RNC position in an email sharply criticizing the administration’s child separation policy. So now we’ve reached the point where Michael Cohen is a sympathetic figure. [CNBC]
* Supreme Court justice arrested on 22 criminal counts and faces 395 years in prison. Obviously it’s a state supreme court, but try to guess which state! [Courthouse News Service]
* Former Dewey & LeBoeuf CFO Joel Sanders was disbarred yesterday. Dewey know who needs a new career? [Law360]
* Forcibly administering drugs to children is bad and the only downside of the royal whupping these jackboot thugs will eventually receive in the courts is that we’ll here another decade of false comparisons from the anti-Vaxxer crowd. [HuffPost]
* 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]

Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 06.20.18
* A Guatemalan woman seeking asylum in the United States has filed suit against the Trump administration, alleging that her 7-year-old son was taken from her at the border last month. She’s only spoken to him once, and desperately wants to be reunited with her child. [The Hill]
* Stop the inhumane insanity: A group of state attorneys general and former U.S. attorneys have written letters to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, demanding that he “immediately” reverse his policy of separating families at the border, letting him know that “the unfolding tragedy falls squarely on [his] shoulders.” [National Law Journal]
* After being dumped by McDermott Will, Michael Cohen has hired Guy Petrillo as his attorney. Petrillo is an ex-S.D.N.Y. prosecutor, which could make it easier for his client to negotiate a deal of some sort after he starts cooperating. [New York Times]
* Seyfarth Shaw has been slapped with a $40 million malpractice suit by Manhattan’s Blue Dog restaurant group, with claims that the firm “negligently, deceptively, and repeatedly” failed in its attempts to properly represent them. [American Lawyer]
* The Justice Department will be holding its annual DOJ Pride event on June 26, and it’s doubtful that AG Sessions will attend. To be honest, given his record, it’s probably better this way for the LGBT employees who’d be celebrating. [Washington Blade]
