Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 01.21.16
* Criminal defense attorneys have been painted so poorly by Hollywood for such a long time that Dean Strang and Jerry Buting, the defense attorneys at the heart of Making a Murderer, “never expected to be viewed as hero[es] for just doing our job.” [WSJ Law Blog]
* All in a day’s work: When Ted Cruz wasn’t busy “[making] a lot of people really angry” during his Supreme Court clerkship, he was watching porn with Chief Justice William Rennquist and Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. [New York Times]
* It seems like Ted Cruz has made prospective Biglaw donors angry as well. Although Sullivan & Cromwell hosted an event in his honor, his campaign contribution amounts from other firms are “humdrum,” with only one Texas firm on his side. [The Careerist]
* Thanks to a $25 million dollar donation from an alumnus, Villanova Law will now be known as the Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law. Hopefully a new name will make people forget about the school’s scandal-plagued past. [Philadelphia Inquirer]
* In light of last week’s sexism sanction from a federal judge, the editors of the ABA Journal want to know if you’ve ever heard sexist remarks while working as a lawyer. We’d like to know too. Email us for inclusion in our series on the subject. [ABA Journal]
