Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 10.16.17
* Colin Kaepernick, who remains unsigned six weeks into the season, has filed a grievance against the NFL and its owners alleging collusion under the latest collective bargaining agreement, claiming that he’s been deprived of employment in retaliation for “bringing awareness to peculiar institutions still undermining racial equality in the United States.” [Bleacher Report]
* Harvey Weinstein was planning to file suit against the New York Times for defamation, but Charles Harder, the hot-shot lawyer who brought down Gawker, has left the media mogul’s legal team. Harder is the third lawyer to step away from this representation, following moves made by Lisa Bloom and Lanny Davis. [Deadline]
* Attorney General Jeff Sessions has rolled back protections for transgender people in the workforce and in education, but the Department of Justice is taking a hard line when it comes to federal hate crimes that have been committed against the very people his policies have thrust into potential danger. [New York Times]
* Harvard Law students and alumni want major improvements to be made to the school’s public service loan assistance program, saying their alma mater has “fallen behind its peer schools” when it comes to supporting graduates who work in public interest. Will HLS act to preserve its stature, or to help its own? [Harvard Crimson]
* Even though women account for more than 40 percent of the school’s student body, there aren’t enough women’s bathrooms at the University of South Dakota School of Law, and students who’ve been forced to wait in long lines are pretty pissed that the administration has done such a piss-poor job of handling this issue. [Wichita Eagle]
