Morning Docket: 06.24.16
* On the subject of raises, yesterday we heard -- a mixed bag of news -- from Linklaters (technically the night before), Barack Ferrazzano, Chadbourne & Parke, Pryor Cashman, Tensegrity, Steptoe & Johnson LLP, and Reed Smith. [Above the Law / 2016 Salary Increase] * If you're an associate serving in your firm's London office, I sure as hell hope you're getting paid in dollars. [BBC] * UK legal experts explain why this vote isn't legally binding. [Legal Cheek] * On the other hand, could this be a boon for lawyers? [Big Law Business / Bloomberg] * Who's on first in front of Second. [Law360] * Dentons global government sector co-chair leaves for boutique. As you're statutorily obligated to say to every Biglaw lawyer moving to a small firm: "you're not going to have the same support services... are you ready for that?" [The Am Law Daily] * Penn State's former general counsel testified that at least he understood that the school needed to report Jerry Sandusky back in 2001 and told the school as much. Which is impressive, since he told the New York Times in 2011 that he'd never even heard of any allegations against Sandusky. [Fox News] * Former law firm executive sentenced to prison. [Atlanta Journal Constitution] * A deep look at the horrific side of criminal justice: a long-form account of four months as a private prison guard. Think of it as "Orange Is The New Black" without having to listen to Piper prattle on. [Mother Jones]
