Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 10.02.19
* Trump wins on taxes (this time): A federal judge in California blocked a state law that would require candidates for president to disclose their income tax returns before their names can appear on the state’s primary ballot. [CNN]
* In the wake of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations of sexual assault, Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s name has not been “totally and permanently destroyed” as he predicted; though he may be regarded as a “walking controversy,” he’s mostly gone back to his regular life. [Washington Post]
* Rudy Giuliani has hired former Watergate prosecutor Jon Sale to represent him in the impeachment inquiry against President Trump. Sale says of his client: “He 100 percent did not do anything illegal.” That’s a good lawyer. [National Law Journal]
* The D.C Circuit largely upheld the FCC’s right to dump net neutrality rules, but the court’s opinion still allowed for state and local governments to set their own regulations that would prohibit some customers from being charged more than others. [Associated Press]
* A judge has ruled that Harvard’s admissions policies are constitutional due to the school’s reliance on “race conscious admissions.” If Students for Fair Admissions appeals, it could go to SCOTUS and endanger affirmative action. [NPR]
* If you’ve been dreaming about going in-house and eventually becoming general counsel, now might be a good time to make a move, considering that GC pay recently hit a five-year high of $2.6 million. [Big Law Business]
* “Alabama and I had a difference of opinion, but Gainesville and I have the same opinion.” That tide has rolled, so Hugh Culverhouse decided to make a $1.1 million donation to the University of Florida Levin College of Law. [Herald Tribune]

Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 07.11.19
* As Alex Acosta just digs himself in deeper, he’s dragging Kirkland & Ellis with him as more people begin to ask questions about Jay Lefkowitz’s role in setting up Epstein’s sweetheart deal. [American Lawyer]
* Ja Rule gets some good news in Fyre Festival suit. [NY Daily News]
* Judges are — finally — starting to drop the hammer on copyright trolling. [Law360]
* There’s a fine line between well-reasoned regulation and backdoor efforts to squelch an industry and litigation finance increasingly worries that it’s getting pushed to the latter side. [Law.com]
* The rise of the legal engineer. [Fast Company]
* Love Island may be new to America, but the Brits already have a legally themed translator for the show courtesy of the chief of the criminal bar. [Legal Cheek]
* FCC tries to kill San Francisco ordinance encouraging broadband competition because they’ve completely given up pretending that their job isn’t to protect ISP monopolistic behavior. [Ars Technica]
