Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 09.14.17

* So now we're going to save DACA? Honestly, watching a White House with no coherent vision is exhausting. [Los Angeles Times] * Trump's FEC nominee raises eyebrows because his Twitter feed includes linking to articles explaining that “Protestantism is poison.” That's an unexpected wrinkle in 2017, but then again... nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! [National Law Journal] * Do the Big 4 accounting firms pose a threat to Biglaw? Um, yes! [Am Law Daily] * Squire Patton Boggs isn't entitled to squirepattonboggs.net according to an international arbitration panel. Put aside the merits of this decision and spend a few minutes cruising squirepattonboggs.net. It's kind of hilarious. [Asian Lawyer] * A new online program promises to help women get out of Biglaw. [Law.com] * Yesterday, jurors heard that employees of payday lender AMG Services were fed weather reports so they could make small talk without revealing that they weren't really on the tribal lands that offered them legal cover. You've got to appreciate how thorough they were. [Law360] * Attorney sentenced for orchestrating a scheme that swindled NFL players. [Chicago Tribune]
