    Morning Docket: 11.10.15

    * Chris Christie is taking a strong stand against bestiality. There you go, buddy — it’s these sorts of courageous, controversial positions that will get you back in the prime time debates. [Associated Press]

    * Congratulations to Neal Katyal, who has now argued more cases before the Supreme Court than any male minority lawyer save Thurgood Marshall. With his argument in Montanile v. Board of Trustees of the National Elevator Industry Health Benefit Plan, Katyal passed Drew Days and Wade McCree in this accounting (No, not that Wade McCree). [Supreme Court Brief]

    * Hollywood hotshot gives $5 million to UCLA School of Law. [National Law Journal]

    * Supreme Court ignores all lower courts and expands qualified immunity to cops who base their decisions on well-established action movie tropes. [Huffington Post]

    * “Sixty-year-old lawyers are out of touch with technology and today’s legal market.” ::nod:: [Chicago Lawyer Magazine]

    * Today, President Obama started smacking around for-profit schools, a group of people that, on a scale of 1 to ISIS rank about a 9. [Politico]

    * The economics of a solo practice are collapsing. Maybe lawyers should just change their mindset. Shhhh. That would really fuss with ATL’s editorial plan. [Lawyers, Guns & Money]

    * Everyone’s talking about what was done to reach the marriage equality decision. What about what wasn’t done to get here? [Slate]

    * More exposition of the famous 12 Rules of Client Service, and a chance to give credit where credit is due. Today, “Rule 4: Deliver work that changes the way clients think about lawyers.” Or convincing them that you may be a human parasite, but you’re their human parasite. [What About Clients?]
