Morning Docket: 10.10.17

* Trump calls for changes to the tax laws to punish the NFL. I think this is a reference to the NFL's tax-exempt status... which they gave up in 2015. But hey, he's upset over a picture of players kneeling from 2014, so they're still a year behind on this stuff over in the West Wing. [Reuters] * Living in limbo: Kirkland's income partners are supposed to go up and out, but upon closer examination they're going up and... wildly well-compensated purgatory. [Law.com] * Winston & Strawn want arbitration in their gender bias suit based on a clause in the applicable partnership agreement. Get used to this, because by this time next year every job will be forcing arbitration if the Supreme Court has anything to say about it. [Am Law Daily] * Today in unintentionally sad: two elite female attorneys fight over a song pretty clearly about date rape. [The Recorder] * Apple GC Bruce Sewell is retiring. Very symbolic of someone at Apple to stop working just when they release a new product. [Corporate Counsel] * What are the seven worst words from your past for your jury to hear? Because "I think we got away with it," have to be up there. [Law360] * An interview with former Magic Circle lawyer Tom Vaughan MacAulay about his new book Being Simon Haines (affiliate link). [Legal Cheek] * We've found Justice Washington's notes in a circuit case he heard in 1823, which is kind of fun. [Concurring Opinions]
