Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 09.28.17
* Federal law enforcement’s crackdown on NCAA coaches has likely brought an end to Rick Pitino’s career. That said, we thought his career was over when we all learned that Louisville hired hookers for recruits so maybe he still has a shot. [ESPN]
* Law firm mergers continue at a record place. Yep, there’s no fundamental market weakness here at all. [Am Law Daily]
* DOJ lawyers face an unpleasant grilling at the Second Circuit. Maybe someday Sessions can disinvite judges he doesn’t want criticizing his unsupported legal theories. [Slate]
* Women losing pregnancies while detained by the administration. I’d say we’re going to look back on this era of immigration policy in horror, but we can probably go ahead and be horrified now. [Huffington Post]
* The USD Alumni Board has weighed in on the Wax/Alexander op-ed. They take a “let’s all come together” approach, which isn’t wrong as much as it seems asymmetric. When one-side throws bombs about cultural superiority, decrying divisiveness puts the onus on the wrong side side to move. [Motions Online]
* The most likely grants from the long conference. [Empirical SCOTUS]
* Here’s how you get $4 billion in punitive damages (hint: be in Texas). [Law.com]

* Washington is facing an unexpected issue with its new marijuana laws: training all the drug-sniffing dogs not to go crazy over pot. [Volokh Conspiracy] * Maryland v. King, but with more Betty Draper. [Eff Yeah SCOTUS] * The International Trade Commission has banned the importation of older iPhones and iPads for patent infringement based on a standard-essential patent. Don’t know what that means? Well, it’s kind of a big deal. [FOSS Patents] * A federal judge likens herself to the Hulk because she lengthens sentences over the objections of prosecutors. When we first wrote about Judge Rose, Staci felt the one Senator voting against her confirmation needed a good reason. This is that reason. [Des Moines Register] * Student trolls law professor to get grades posted before she can finish the professor’s book. The race is on! [Josh Blackman's Blog] * As previously mentioned, THE Ohio State University President Gordon Gee was in hot water. Now he’s been s**tcanned retiring. Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino declared Gee a “pompous ass.” One tipster noted, “Pitino Rick is an expert on the subject of pompous. Restaurant Sex too.” [CBS Sports] * Lots of lawyers are former debaters. If you are looking to give back, there’s a new organization trying to raise money for high school debate in Kalamazoo. I mention this partly because I care about the cause, but mostly because I like writing Kalamazoo.

Since it concerns balls, it seems like a natural fit for […]
