Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 06.04.15

* If you're having trouble making payments on your law school debt, don't fall prey to a loan-relief scam. You may already be six figures in the hole, but you should take this quiz to see if you're about to lose your shirt -- yet again. [U.S. News & World Report] * For the second time in two years, the ABA will reconsider whether law students should be able to receive pay for credit-bearing externships. Come on already, give these people a chance to make a buck before they graduate. [National Law Journal] * Here's an important memo for Judge Mark Fuller of the Middle District of Alabama: Just so you know, if you don't resign on August 1 as promised, the House Judiciary Committee is probably going to bring impeachment proceedings against you. HTH. [Daily Report] * It's not a merger (yet), they're just "exploring synergies": Albany Law School and SUNY Albany will affiliate in order to help students from both schools. Check out the memo, complete with an exploding fellowship offer for new students. [Albany Business Review] * Vice is suing a small business named Virtue Marketing, alleging trademark infringement. Apparently the media company's in-house marketing agency is also called Virtue. Hey, Vice, just change the name to Greed and you'll be set. [THR, Esq. / Hollywood Reporter]
