Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 05.05.23
* Leonard Leo had Kellyanne Conway funnel tens of thousands of dollars from a non-profit to Ginni Thomas without a paper trail and with the explicit direction “No mention of Ginni, of course.” Totally normal and above-board thing to do! [Washington Post]
* Ed Sheeran prevailed in his copyright case as sharing chord progressions don’t make songs similar. [Law360]
* If a whistle blows in the woods and the bank can retaliate without repercussion, does it make a sound? The Supreme Court seems hopeful that the answer is no. [Bloomberg Law News]
* Ivanka Trump targeted by NYAG over discovery obligations with investigators leery of “why her volume of emails dropped from 1,200 per month in 2014 to 37 in 2016.” Yes, what could have happened in 2016 that inspired some urgency to curtail the digital paper trail? [Huffington Post]
* Google and Sonos head to trial in patent dispute over smart devices. Hey, Alexa? Why are you laughing? [Reuters]
* Biglaw financials are strong… so of course everyone’s talking about layoffs because America is going to gaslight itself into a recession one way or another. [American Lawyer]
* Court issues more sanctions over false voter fraud claims, tagging Arizona gubernatorial loser Kari Lake. Which probably makes her the front-runner for Trump’s running mate. [The Hill]

* ABA asks the Supreme Court to maybe consider having some ethical rules. Aw. Cute. [Reuters]
* Professor Rick Hasen discusses the high likelihood that Moore v. Harper might soon be moot. [Slate]
* Attorneys agree that Elon Musk himself deserves credit for winning the Tesla shareholder case. Since the jury watched him testify and concluded “no one could possibly take this guy seriously,” he probably does deserve all the credit. [Law360]
* Law firms unlikely to develop ChatGPT tools any time soon. Can’t have anyone more robotic than the Tax department, can’t we? [Legaltech News]
