Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 05.14.18
* Could it be? Will another Biglaw firm be dragged into this mess after Skadden? Michael Avenatti, lawyer to Stormy Daniels, thinks that special counsel Robert Mueller ought to take a look at Squire Patton Boggs, the firm that’s been working hard to disavow its “strategic alliance” with Michael Cohen, the president’s personal attorney. [Newsweek]
* “[Y]ou can’t have one rule for Democratic presidents and another rule for Republican presidents.” Chairman Chuck Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who recently suggested that any Supreme Court justice who was thinking about retiring do so right f**king now, claims that he won’t hold any hearings or votes for a Supreme Court nominee during the lead-up to the 2020 election [Bloomberg]
* The American Bar Association is planning to do away with its requirement that accredited law schools use a standardized admissions test to admit students. Will any law schools actually go so far as to admit students without any test scores at all? More on this later today. [Law.com]
* The end of the latest Supreme Court Term is drawing near, and if you’ve been watching goings-on at the high court, you know what that means: justices seem to be more likely to injure themselves now than during any other time of the year. Cross your fingers and hope that no one else sustains any broken bones — or worse — before the end of June. [CNN]
* Public law schools are usually cash cows for their associated undergraduate universities, but one law school is doing the complete opposite thanks to a dip in applications. But for a gigantic annual subsidy from main campus ($7.5 million), the University of Minnesota School of Law wouldn’t be able to balance its budget — and the school will need even more by 2020 ($12 million). Yikes! [Duluth News Tribune]
