Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 10.13.15

* Biglaw leaders aren't feeling so hot about the future of the profession. What else is new? [Big Law Business / Bloomberg BNA] * Villanova Law School whining about its fall in the U.S. News rankings after admitting it had artificially inflated its numbers. Listen, it's this stupid fascination with U.S. News that got Villanova busted in the first place. It's high time the school stops preening for U.S. News and starts touting its admirable position in the rankings based on what's best for students. [Philadelphia Inquirer] * It's time for the Supreme Court to hear the important cases! Enough of these poor people railroaded by the system, where's justice for disgraced former Governor Bob McDonnell? [Washington Post] * Everything should be legal! At least when it comes to BS NCAA violations. [Adequate Man / Deadspin] * Women make less than men when it comes to in-house work. Sort of like all other work. [Law360] * Hillary was hailed as the big winner last night, but her biggest victory was knowing that Bernie Sanders was going to pull his punches. [Redline] * Sara Randazzo with the Twitter observation of the day yesterday: lawyer for ex-Dewey chair Steve Davis trolled the jury with his tie pattern. [Twitter]
