Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 07.12.16

* How would a Gingrich VP run impact Dentons? Because Gingrich getting a 4-month vacation is the most pressing question about the Trump ticket at this point. [The Am Law Daily] * North Carolina enacts legislation to keep police cam footage out of the public record in a move that isn't a cynical cover up effort at all. [ABC 11] * International arbitration panel rules against China's claims to South China Sea territory. It's like that apocryphal story about Andrew Jackson saying of John Marshall "let him enforce it" if Andrew Jackson was armed with nuclear weapons. [Huffington Post] * The Department of Justice is going to bat to protect the Department of Labor's fiduciary rule as plaintiffs beg judge to take a bat to the Department of Labor's fiduciary rule. [The National Law Journal] * In a pending gender bias suit, Bank of America denies having a "Bro's Club" culture. I'm fuzzy on the regulations, but I'm pretty sure in that statement BofA just forfeited its status as a "bank." [Law360] * Did you know prison laborers are planning to go on strike on September? Me neither, but there you go. [Occupy] * Straightforward review of the CFTC's proposed Regulation AT aimed at the practice of automated trading. [Morrison Cohen] * University of Houston Law Center professor and former dean Stephen Zamora died last week. He was 72. [UH Law Center]
