Morning Docket: 10.30.15
* "Say you'll remember me, getting groped in a nice dress..." Uh oh! This pop star seems pretty pissed! Taylor Swift has filed a countersuit against a radio DJ who sued her because he claims he was fired for inappropriately touching the singer backstage at a concert. [Rolling Stone] * Charleston School of Law has a new president, and hopefully his tenure will be less wrought with disaster than that of his predecessors. He says he'll be paid one whole dollar per year as his salary until he can turn things around. [Charleston Post and Courier] * At a speaking engagement at Santa Clara Law earlier this week, Justice Antonin Scalia proclaimed that the Supreme Court has been "liberal" throughout the entirety of his 30-year tenure. We'd like to beg His Honor's pardon; that can't be true. [WSJ Law Blog] * As this article so eloquently puts it, "[t]he Supreme Court is about to climb back into Americans' bedrooms." Today, the high court will review several petitions from non-profit groups that want to be exempted from ACA's contraception mandate. [USA Today] * Everything's bigger in Texas, including the number of firms that are trying to enter the market. To establish a presence in the Lone Star State, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton is saying howdy to some new partners and merging with Crouch & Ramey. [ABA Journal]
