Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 10.19.18
* John Quinn of Quinn Emauel has no plans to step down as managing partner, no plans to retire any time soon, and no desire to do any succession planning (aka “an example of superfluous business school-speak that adds nothing”) for his firm. After all, the business of law “is a pretty dumb business.” [American Lawyer]
* Elon Musk has been sued by a Tesla shareholder in the Delaware Court of Chancery over his “erratic behavior” and the company’s board has been dragged into the suit for their alleged “gross mismanagement” of Musk’s Twitter antics. [Delaware Business Court Insider]
* If you’re in the Los Angeles area and you’re a fan of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, you may want to stop by the Skirball Cultural Center to see its latest museum exhibition, which will be going on until mid-March: “Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.” [Los Angeles Times]
* An expert witness says this Biglaw partner’s deposition tactics and demeanor gave him a health scare. “I felt like a prisoner before a Nazi-administered trial and became seriously concerned and stressed about what was happening.” [Law.com]
* Fix your gaze on this, pre-law students: If you want to learn how you can ace the LSAT, you may want to take a look at this study on eye tracking. [Berkeley News]

Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 03.05.18
* No donation is too small, and no donor is too young: Former Senate candidate and former judge Roy Moore is begging his supporters via Facebook for cash for his legal defense fund because his “resources have been depleted” and he’s “struggled to make ends meet.” [Washington Post]
* The Trump administration wants to stop federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions, and the Justice Department is using the travel ban case to ask the Supreme Court to “reject the deeply misguided practice.” Will SCOTUS put these “so-called judges” in their place? [Associated Press]
* Remember Claud “Tex” McIver, the Biglaw partner who shot his wife in the back and killed her, allegedly blamed the incident on a Black Lives Matter protest? Jury selection for his murder trial begins today. [Daily Report Online]
* No, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg isn’t advising LeadInvest, a company promoting cryptocurrency investments in Texas, and neither are former U.S. Solicitors General Theodore Olson, Seth Waxman, and Paul Clement. The Texas State Securities Board sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding that the company remove photos of the justice and the lawyers from its site. [National Law Journal]
* And the Oscar for Best Lawyer goes to… John Quinn of Quinn Emanuel has served as outside counsel to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences since 1986, and he attends every show with the ABC contract in his pocket in case a legal issue pops up. [Corporate Counsel]
* Is it time to bring back the lists and rankings commemorating the “hotties of law”? Vivia Chen has a hot take, and thinks that in this puritanical era, it’s high time that we stop pretending lawyers are asexual. So long as both men and women are included on the lists, what’s the harm? Right now, a lot. [American Lawyer]
