Morning Docket: 08.10.23
* Another day, another several hundred grand worth of unethical and undisclosed gifts for Clarence Thomas. [ProPublica] * ABA encouraging law firms to redouble efforts to expand diversity... before the Supreme Court makes it illegal. [Bloomberg Law News] * Lawsuit alleges private attorney took on upwards of 600 indigent client criminal cases, collecting huge sums from the city, and then not doing any work. That's not totally true... the lawsuit alleges that the lawyer was quite diligent about filing motions for fees. [ABA Journal] * Treasury announcing regulations to curb money laundering through real estate. Maybe Manhattan will be affordable again in 15 years! [Reuters] * A Wisconsin police department refuses to divulge the name of officers who shoot people citing victim's rights laws and arguing that if they shot someone they must have felt threatened and therefore are the real victims. [Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel] * Don't use AI to write your firm's web content reports the department of obvious things. [Search Engine Journal] * Ninth Circuit says text spam is not covered by the TCPA. Great! Just in time for generative AI to remove almost every entry barrier to mass text spamming. [Law360]

[ABC News] * 3M tried to wiggle out of earplug liability through bankruptcy. The courts seem to have grown wise to this strategy. [Financial Times] * Government digging into allegations of COVID test fraud, where people ordered free tests on behalf of dead people. Look, I don't know if anyone in DC is tracking the level of COVID denialism out here but maybe we don't need to complain about anyone wanting tests. [Bloomberg Law News] * Title IX changes expected to trigger wave of litigation. [Law.com] * Marvel settles with classic creators who possessed the most important superpower of all: a colorable copyright interest. [Law360]
