Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 04.20.18
* Welcome Rudy Giuliani to the Trump legal team. Reminder that the last time he offered Trump legal advice he inadvertently built the strongest case against the travel ban, so this should go well. [CNN]
* Overshadowed by the Rudy announcement, Trump also hired married Miami duo Marty and Jane Serene Raskin. They’re actually competent criminal defense attorneys, so I don’t expect them to last long. [McClatchy]
* Alexander Hamilton earns honorary degree from Albany Law School. Upon learning he’ll have the same degree as Megyn Kelly, Hamilton decided Aaron Burr might have done him a favor. [Law.com]
* Officials have moved the “Fearless Girl” statue citing “safety” though the fear of a completely frivolous lawsuit from the sculptor of “Charging Bull” may be the real culprit. So a woman took a bold stand and will therefore be shuffled off to another office out of the way… that may be the most iconic depiction of Wall Street yet. [Dealbreaker]
* In the wake of the horrific Larry Nassar cover up, Michigan State’s GC Robert Noto nabbed $436000 in severance pay. Because accountability is important. [Corporate Counsel]
* James Comey keeps receipts. [Huffington Post]
* If you’re looking for your daily dose of wackiness, here’s a $100M lawsuit from Jason Lee Van Dyke against the man trying to get him disbarred. [Daily Beast]
* Chuck Schumer’s going to introduce a bill to decriminalize marijuana. Because it’s 4/20. Chuck Schumer is making 4/20 jokes now. [NPR]

Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 08.09.17
* “It’s an extreme position to go from hateful statements to this. What would cause him to change his mind?” President Trump is a fan of calling the Russia investigation a “witch hunt” in public, but word on the street is that he’s sent private messages to special counsel Robert Mueller to express his “appreciation” for what he’s been doing. Countdown until Mueller gets fired? [USA Today]
* “Judge Roy Moore is the real deal. He’s tough, tested, and has a spine of steel.” Chuck Norris is endorsing former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore to fill the Senate seat that was left vacant by Jeff Sessions after he became attorney general. Guys, it looks like Chuck Norris can’t divide by zero anymore, so maybe it’s time for everyone to buy a Total Gym so this man can retire. [CNN]
* Just how much do Williams & Connolly partners make? The firm typically keeps quiet about compensation, but Curtis J. Mahoney, who is up for the deputy U.S. trade representative post in the Trump administration, has had to make some financial disclosures and now we know he’s made $833,000 in partnership income thus far in 2017. [National Law Journal]
* Following the release of the results of a study of female attorneys’ speaking roles — or lack thereof — in New York courts, former Southern District Judge Shira Scheindlin, who is now of counsel at Stroock, said in a powerful op-ed that law firms “must stop paying lip service to diversity and take concrete steps to change.” Perhaps one day, something will actually change. [New York Times]
* Federal prosecutors have dropped their securities fraud case against Wall Street financier Benjamin Wey thanks to an extremely unfavorable evidence suppression order issued by Judge Alison Nathan of the Southern District of New York. Wey’s legal team from Haynes and Boone is obviously quite pleased with the decision. We may have more on this later. [New York Law Journal]
