Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 12.10.14

* We know all about the ridiculous lawyer with three Harvard degrees who is apparently considering suing a mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant over a $4 overcharge. We'll have more on this absolute absurdity later. [Boston.com] * An English court ruled that a girl with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder couldn't be awarded damages against her mother because the harm occurred in utero. Remember folks, the unborn aren't people, only corporations are. [Daily Beast] * A Foley & Lardner IP partner may be facing sanctions for a rather unorthodox petition for a writ of certiorari that he submitted to the Supreme Court. [Legal Times] * Someone at Harvard Law taped fliers containing the last words of unarmed African-Americans who shot by police over portraits of their law professors. [ABC News] * Per a recent study, the vast majority of law students have suffered from some sort of mental health issue while in law school. This isn't at all shocking. [Yale Daily News]
