Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 09.23.16
* Tulsa police officer Betty Shelby has been charged with first-degree manslaughter in the shooting death of Terence Crutcher. In the charging documents, prosecutors said she “reacted unreasonably by escalating the situation.” If convicted, she faces between up to life in prison. [AP]
* Thanks to millennials in the workforce, some Biglaw firms are doing away with corner offices, since those corner offices can be intimidating to young associates. Rainmakers at a few firms were pretty pissed: “Some partners said, ‘We earn this — It’s a right of passage. It’s where we work.'” [Big Law Business]
* “We should really hold the Department of Justice’s feet to the fire here. Will they pursue individuals and not just the underlings?” Many are hoping that the Department of Justice will use Wells Fargo’s misconduct as its test case for getting tough on corporate executives responsible for corporate crime. [DealBook / New York Times]
* ACLU attorney Ahilan Arulanantham won a $625K MacArthur “genius grant” for his legal work performed on behalf of immigrants facing deportation, which has set “vital precedents to expand the rights of non-citizens.” He’s the second immigration attorney to win the award in three years. Congratulations on this achievement! [WSJ Law Blog]
* “If things slow down and I had time, I really want to go to law school.” Despite the fact that she hasn’t even gone to college, Kim Kardashian West wants to follow in her late father’s footsteps and become a lawyer. Which law school do you think would be willing to accept the queen of reality TV? Would she be able to bring Kanye? [Daily Caller]
