    Morning Docket: 03.07.23

    * Baylor Law School out of compliance with ABA standards. [KWTX]

    * But the good news is that some other schools are back in compliance! [ABA Journal]

    * O’Melveney explains how expansion pushed them into a billion-dollar firm this year. We’ve said this before, but as we wait for the Am Law 200, make note of these stories because it’s “the notes they’re not playing” — every peer firm that’s not rushing to tell their story to the American Lawyer right now is probably sitting on some iffy numbers. [Law.com]

    * Police charging attorney observer from the SPLC with “domestic terrorism” for monitoring Cop City protests. Branding legal counsel as “domestic terrorism” might seem like a prelude to fascism, but we’ve all been assured that the REAL fascism is Yale students not inviting kids they don’t like to parties. So we’re all fine. [AL.com]

    * The EU is coming for Asiago. [Bloomberg Law News]

    * Supreme Court throws head in sand and refuses to consider that FedEx might have a workforce that crosses state borders… as a delivery company. [Reuters]

    Morning Docket: 02.16.23

    * Supreme Court considering whether or not to blame Google for terrorism, which seems like a stretch because even if someone searched for terrorism, they’d have to wade through 35 ads for unrelated garbage before getting anything relevant. [Vox]

    * Allen & Overy becomes first firm to go all in on ChatGPT style tech announcing that it’s working with Harvey. [Legal Futures]

    * NBA great George Gervin sues Ralph Lauren for releasing a retro-styled shoe called the “Gervin Mid.” So… apparently Ralph Lauren thought George Gervin was dead. [Law360]

    * New York Governor Kathy Hochul fought hard for her right to be publicly humiliated, and officially succeeded as the NY Senate that attempted to offer her basic political dignity caved and officially rejected Hector LaSalle nomination to serve as chief judge. Crackerjack politicking! [Politico]

    * Litigation financing spent $3.2B last year. It would be nice if justice didn’t need speculators to function, but if this is the system we’re sticking with, it’s nice that they’re there. [Reuters]

    * Kari Lake’s lawyers get slapped with bar complaints because… obviously. [NBC]
