Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 12.01.16
* GCs just keep getting raises. Some reports suggest compensation is up almost 7 percent this year. But don’t worry — they’ll still bitch and moan about Biglaw associates getting a small cost of living bump. [Corporate Counsel]
* If you haven’t been paying attention, William & Mary Law School has been on FIRE lately. No, literally, the school is on fire. Call 911. [WAVY 10]

* Heroic big banks are demolishing patent trolls while everyone else continues to suffer, which sounds about right. [Law.com]
* China’s got a new cybersecurity law and it’s not good news for foreign businesses. [Fortune]
* But don’t worry, the U.S. is now just as intrusive with new rules taking effect today that allow judges to order broader government hacking for investigative fishing expeditions. So… yay! [Ars Technica]
