Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 12.12.18
* Yale Law School’s list of the most memorable quotes of the year is out, and Rudy Giuliani’s “truth isn’t truth” and Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s “I still like beer” coming in first and second place, respectively. Congratulations on all of your success. [Newsweek]
* After some dealmaking with Republicans, Senator Kamala Harris will remain on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The problem here is that another GOP seat will be added, but right now, it seems like there’s no one out there who wants to take up this important role. [Washington Post]
* Yup, I’m just going to leave this one right here: “Senate Lawyer Deemed ‘Not Qualified’ by ABA Confirmed to Eighth Circuit.” [National Law Journal]
* Kirkland & Ellis will have a new leader soon, but that doesn’t mean the firm’s lateral hiring spree will end. “[T]he Kirkland threat of poaching isn’t going away anytime soon and might get worse,” says one of the firm’s partners. [American Lawyer]
* The Senate will take a look at a criminal justice reform in a revised version of the First Step Act later this month. Per President Trump, the bill “looks like it’s going to be passing, hopefully, famous last words, on a very bipartisan way.” [Reuters]
* Remember that dustup at GW Law between the SBA and the Jewish Law Student Association? Students say the administration has “swept the incident under the rug” and won’t resolve the situation until next semester. [GW Hatchet]
* When do women get seats on corporate boards? When it’s required by law. That’s certainly less than than inspiring. Time to start lobbying. [Big Law Business]
