Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 04.27.17
* Guess who gets to take advantage of President Donald Trump’s new tax plan? Lawyers and their law firms — which are largely organized as pass-through entities — will likely benefit greatly, as they’ll be able to reduce their tax rate from 39.6 percent to 15 percent. [ABA Journal]
* The Charlotte School of Law may be on the brink of collapse, but the school is heading to court to try to shake off three of the four federal class-action lawsuits that were filed by current students and recent graduates with motions to dismiss. We’ll have more on this later today. [Law.com]
* The Trump administration didn’t seem to fare very well during oral arguments in an immigration case yesterday. Chief Justice John Roberts certainly wasn’t impressed, and Justice Anthony Kennedy seemed even less so, dropping this benchslap: “It seems to me that your argument is demeaning the priceless value of citizenship.” [Reuters]
* Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai will propose a rollback of the Obama-era net-neutrality rule that regulated broadband internet providers as common carriers. Critics aren’t pleased: “It makes no sense. We cannot keep the promise of net neutrality openness and freedom without the rules that ensure it.” [Big Law Business]
* Four third-year students at Harvard Law have demanded that the administration provide clarification as to how it assesses applicants who have been accused or convicted of sexual assault. “We put forth a call for transparency and affirmative efforts demonstrating the school takes sexual assault seriously.” [Harvard Crimson]

* Tyann Sorrell, the woman who accused the former dean of UC Berkeley Law of sexually harassing her, was none too pleased with the settlement that was recently announced by the school. She says the deal, which leaves Sujit Chaudry with tenure and benefits, “insults all who suffer harassment at the hands of those with power and privilege.” [Law.com]
* “I liked being a judge, but I loved being a lawyer.” Judge Kevin Sharp of the Middle District of Tennessee has turned in his robes to become a partner at plaintiffs-side employment and civil rights firm Sanford Heisler, which will now be known as Sanford Heisler Sharp. He’s expected to play a critical role in the firm’s gender discrimination suit filed against Chadbourne & Parke. [New York Law Journal via ABA Journal]
* “I have no problem calling people out in meetings. It’s so bizarre, the excuses people give me why there are not more women in the room, never mind diversity of gender, race or religion.” PayPal’s top lawyer will quickly find a way to never have to work with your firm ever again if it seems like those who are in charge haven’t gotten the message that “a room full of white men” isn’t going to get or retain her business. [Big Law Business]
* If you’re trying to find a way to differentiate your firm from all of the rest, then why not experiment with the fine art that’s decorating your office walls? If you want your firm to be branded as home to rebellious lawyers without a cause — of action? — then some “naughty” restroom art is in order, like at Phipps Anderson Deacon. [Huffington Post]
* Uh-oh! You’ve been accepted to law school but now it looks like you’ll need to defer. This is a pretty useful guide on how to go about navigating a deferral of admission, and it even includes come fun facts, like the schools that won’t grant deferrals except for extremely extenuating circumstances.
