Morning Docket: 05.05.16

* Florida public defender disbarred over sex and drugs with inmates. Amazingly, this is not just an update of this story about... a Florida public defender allegedly caught banging an inmate. What's going on with these Florida public defenders? [NY Daily News] * Law firms know they need to radically change their model and yet haven't done anything about it. But they're telling GCs it's the clients' fault for not pushing firms harder to change. Holy blame the victim, Batman. [Law360] * As some of you may have heard by now, Milbank Tweed is ditching its downtown home for relatively law firm-free Chelsea. Cue Steve Winwood: "Back on the High Line again..." [Real Estate Weekly] * Law school rechristening its building over its namesake's KKK ties. Political correctness run amok -- remember when you could support lawless acts of terrorism against minorities and be venerated by institutions of higher learning? [CBS News] * Judge Alan Simon has already received a suspension after a commission found a "history of bullying and verbally abusing court staffers" and now he may be losing his job. [Law360] * Cass Sunstein explains the Constitution with Darth Vader's help. As it turns out he's got a book about it too (affiliate link). [National Law Journal] * A panel discusses the labor and employment implications of legalized marijuana. Pretty sure Afroman already covered these when he intoned: "I was gonna go to work but then I got high/I just got a new promotion but I got high/now I'm selling dope and I know why yea hey/cause I got high/cause I got high/cause I got high." [Corporate Counsel] * A breakthrough, "gotcha" moment on cross-examination in a big case is such a holy grail achievement of Matlockian proportions that we should celebrate it whenever it happens. Skadden managed to net one in a $2.1 billion suit this week. [Litigation Daily] * Kirkland & Ellis offering "emotional fitness training" at its offices. Pretty sure the curriculum for Biglaw attorneys should be a primer on Wheaton's Law and this video with the word "baseball" replaced with "law." [Kirkland & Ellis]
