Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 05.18.23
* Fifth Circuit judge scolds attorney for “personal attack” because she accurately described the district court opinion as unprecedented. As Inigo Montoya would put it, “I don’t think that word means what Judge Elrod thinks it means. [Slate]
* After watching Disney’s experience beating up on Florida lawyers, Penguin Random House is starting to sue Florida school districts for banning books. [AP]
* Montana has banned TikTok in a reminder that “free speech” is now limited to punishing students for carrying mean signs during FedSoc events. [Wall Street Journal]
* Deutsche Bank paying $75 million to settle claims that the bank facilitated Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operations. Another win for Boies Schiller Flexner and Edwards Pottinger representing Epstein’s victims. [Reuters]
* Massachusetts US Attorney accused of abuse of power “to achieve a political goal epitomiz[ing] the type of ‘political justice’ that Congress intended to prohibit.” Too bad she wasn’t a judge taking free vacations from parties before the court… she’d be home free by now.[Law360]
* WilmerHale earned 5 percent of its total revenue from Meta, the company you remember as Facebook before they completely retooled to chase a creepy VR chat room that they’ve since killed after costing the company about $13 billion. Which is all to say that Wilmer may want to diversify its revenue streams at this rate. [Bloomberg Law News]

* Supreme Court refuses call to allow West Virginia to ban transgender athletes. Biden administration jumps in to push for that ban. We’ve entered the era where the Biden administration is trying to push to the right of this Supreme Court… what a time to be alive. [Reuters]
* Speaking of the Supreme Court, Idaho moves ahead with its slap in the face of full, faith, and credit so expect to see them at the Court real soon. [Washington Post]
* The easiest way to make sure wrongfully injured people never get justice is to disincentivize lawyers from pursuing those claims. And a bipartisan effort in Congress seeks to do just that over Camp Lejeune. [National Law Journal]
* Real Housewife owes real attorneys’ fees. A lot of them. [Daily Beast]
* When Boies Schiller started shrinking and outlets preached doom and gloom, we suggested that the firm might be transitioning to a smaller but more focused firm instead of trying to be all things to all people. Well… profits per partner are up. [Bloomberg Law News]
* Microsoft penalized for selling to sanctioned parties in Russia. But viewed another way, they’ve kept those evil entities mired in buggy software, so in a sense isn’t this a patriotic service? [Law360]
