Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 01.24.18
* Now that special counsel Robert Mueller has interviewed Attorney General Jeff Sessions for hours on end, he’s getting closer to interviewing the president himself, and it looks like the focus will be on the ouster of Michael Flynn and James Comey (i.e., obstruction of the Russia investigation). [Washington Post]
* After the federal government shutdown ended, Justice Neil Gorsuch dined with Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn and other Republican senators and Trump administration officials. Ethics violation? Nah. “Justices don’t take vows to be hermits. Nothing here remotely suggests ethical issue.” [National Law Journal]
* More than one million corporate email addresses from the United Kingdom’s top law firms were found on the dark web, and 80 percent were associated with passwords, which puts those firms at a very significant risk of being hacked. Be wary about cybersecurity breaches in the future thanks to this. [Infosecurity Magazine]
* The University of Windsor Faculty of Law in Ontario, Canada, suffered a major data breach earlier this month after a law school staff member accidentally posted confidential information — names, GPAs, LSAT scores, the works — about current applicants to a blackboard accessible by current students. Oops! [Lawyer’s Daily]
* If you’re thinking about applying to law school, make sure you keep in mind that anything you include (or neglect to include) in your application can and will be used against you during your character and fitness evaluation when you apply to take the bar exam after graduation.
