Dwight Howard

Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 12.14.20

* Dwight Howard is being sued after allegedly stiffing two women who took care of his snake collection. Guess they're alleging he might be a "snake in the grass"... [New York Post] * An El Paso attorney, who died of COVID-19, still won her election for a local judgeship. [KSAT] * Simon Cowell is considering a lawsuit against an ebike manufacturer after purportedly suffering a crash. [Page Six] * Andrew Cuomo, the current Governor of New York and a contender to be Joe Biden's Attorney General, is facing sexual harassment allegations. [New York Times] * A disbarred lawyer, who is charged with shooting seven police officers, is arguing about whether a receiver should be appointed to oversee his assets. [Rochester First] * A lawyer is facing possible discipline for purportedly alleging that a female judge would be biased towards a wife in a divorce case. By this logic, wouldn't a male judge supposedly be biased for the husband? [Daily Business Review]

* Not going anywhere for a while? Try a Snickers. Just don't try to write it off as a business expense. [TaxProf Blog] * Toilet cameras involve moral turpitude. This is an opinion that needed to be written. [Legal Profession Blog] * Police decline to charge Dwight Howard with child abuse. He'd allegedly punished his child with his belt, which is nowhere near as bad as letting them walk outside alone (if you listen to Elie's rants). [ESPN] * There's no bar exam too small for his analysis: North Dakota's February results. [Bar Exam Stats] * A look back at the Lincoln assassination 150 years later. Something like this would never happen today -- probably because Lincoln would still be on the waiting list for Book of Mormon. [Constitutional Accountability Center] * I knew SeaWorld was in trouble when I saw a glossy commercial during primetime television explaining how great they are. And my instincts were right -- they've been hit with three salacious lawsuits in a month. [The Dodo] * Oh, the things you learn from lawsuits! Find out exactly how the WWE feels about your city. Getting dissed by Vince McMahon must sting. [411Mania] * If you're in Chicago or Los Angeles, you should come out to see David discuss his new book, Supreme Ambitions (affiliate link).

* Sorry ladies, but Seth Meyers is now engaged. To a lawyer of all people. Alexi Ashe of AC Investment Management graduated from Southwestern University School of Law and previously worked at the King’s County District Attorney’s Office, Human Rights First, and the Somaly Mam Foundation. [Gawker] * A D.C. law firm is giving away its law library. An unscrupulous law school could bolster its U.S. News ranking because they count the number of volumes in law libraries even though no one has used a bound legal reporter in a decade. [Constitutional Daily] * “But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? And does it rise to the level of nuisance?” Just one gem over on this Tumblr. [Shakespeare Takes the Bar Exam] * The Ohio Supreme Court may hear a speeding ticket case because there are no more pressing issues in Ohio. [USA Today] * Pharrell is suing will.i.am because the latter seems to think he owns a trademark in every sentence with “I am” in it. And Pharrell quotes from noted legal authority Dr. Seuss. [Jezebel] * Does Dwight Howard’s decision to sign with the Rockets highlight how state taxes pose a hidden threat to league parity? [TaxProf Blog] * Still hankering for Supreme Court discussion? Here’s a thorough roundtable examination of the previous term. [Construction Magazine] * Have a good legal-themed short fiction idea? Enter the ABA Journal’s Ross Writing Contest and you could win $3,000. [ABA Journal]
