If You Forget To Take A Selfie With Your Vote, Does It Still Count? (YES, YOU IDIOTS)
Elie Mystal can't believe that these people are forcing him to formulate an opinion on ballot selfies. -
Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 10.26.16
* Somebody cry Justin Timberlake a river, because the pop star is currently under investigation for taking a ballot selfie in his home state of Tennessee. He may face up to 30 days in jail and a fine of $50 for posting a picture of himself at a polling station on his Instagram account, where it was seen by his more than 37 million followers. [Reuters]
UPDATE: Amy Weirich, District Attorney General of Shelby County, Tennessee, said the following as to Timberlake’s alleged violation of the state’s ballot selfie law: “No one in our office is currently investigating this matter nor will we be using our limited resources to do so.”
* If Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump were to win the election, he’d be entering the presidency with an unprecedented number of unresolved legal cases. At present, Trump has at least 75 pending lawsuits, and they’d follow him to the White House where he’d continue to be dogged by them, leaving him distracted. [USA Today]
* “Diversity is the future; embrace it or you’re obsolete.” According to Andrew Glincher, Nixon Peabody’s managing partner, his firm has tried to increase its diversity because while the legal profession itself is “focused on past and precedent,” his firm is “future-focused,” and he finds that a diverse workforce makes his teams better overall.

* Want to attend a law school that will teach you about real-life music issues? Want to attend a law school that’s produced some of the most well-known music lawyers in the country? Then you may want to attend one of these 10 law schools (many in the T14), handpicked by Billboard for their elite alumni practicing in the music field. [Billboard]
* Citing changes in donor participation, Big Bend CrimeStoppers has reduced the reward being offered for information leading to an arrest in the 2014 killing of Florida State law professor Dan Markel. Considering three suspects have been arrested and charged — and one of them has already taken a plea deal — this isn’t so bad. [Tallahassee Democrat]

* The AT&T/T-Mobile antitrust suit is so big that not even Big Government law can handle it. The DOJ is bringing in even bigger guns with a partner from Biglaw firm Munger Tolles. [Bloomberg] * Obama has nominated former Kozinski clerk, Paul Watford, to the Ninth Circuit. Way to go, because he’s kind of cute. […]
