Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 01.15.16

* If you're searching for a city where women lawyers elbow out men when it comes to leadership positions, then Chicago may be the place for you. Eight women serve as office managing partners there, more than any other city. [Big Law Business / Bloomberg] * Conservative advocacy group Citizens United is back in the news, but this time it's in search of correspondence between Chelsea Clinton and State Department officials during her mother Hillary Clinton's time as Secretary of State.

[ELLE] * A widow of an American who was killed during a terror attack in Jordan is suing Twitter because she claims the social networking site has given ISIS "unfettered" means to spread its hateful messages in violation of the Anti-Terrorism Act. Retweet? [Reuters] * “18 year olds have nearly every burden and privilege of adults… except the right to drink alcohol." That's why three states -- New Hampshire, California, and Minnesota -- may soon lower their legal drinking ages, through legislation or ballot initiatives. [MTV]
