Morning Docket: 04.03.15

* Even more law schools are doing away with their LSAT requirements. Let's give a great big welcome to Drake Law and St. John's Law, who are joining the likes of SUNY Buffalo Law and Iowa Law. Woohoo, welcome aboard the bandwagon, folks! [U.S. News & World Report] * Judge James W. Haley Jr. of the Virginia Court of Appeals held a drunk intruder at gunpoint while he waited for the police to arrive. This unwanted houseguest was only wearing one shoe as he wandered through the judge's home. Oopsie! [Free Lance-Star] * Well, that was quick. Fried Frank has hired away James “Jamie” Wareham, DLA Piper's $5 million man, about four years after he lateraled to the firm from Paul Hastings. April Fools' Day was his last day at the firm... or was it? J/K, it was for real. [Am Law Daily] * J. Michael Farren, the ex-White House lawyer who was convicted of attempting to murder his wife and sentenced to 15 years in prison, is now facing the loss of his law license. This should really be the very least of his worries. [Connecticut Law Tribune] * The U.S. Marshals Service has increased the reward for tips related to the shooting of U.S. District Judge Terrence Berg. Now you'll get $50,000 if you've got information that'll lead to arrests and convictions of the suspects who shot a federal jurist. [Detroit News]
