Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 12.29.17

* Both Quinn Emanuel and Kirkland & Ellis are moving into Boston. Is this going to be a trend? Is there enough extra work laying around up there for this to be a trend? [American Lawyer] * Look forward to hearing more about machine learning in 2018! It's good to know it won't all be vague conversations about blockchain next year. [Legaltech News] * Jeff Sessions opens door to debtor's prisons, because of course he does. [New York Times] * And... here come the lawsuits over Apple's newly uncovered practice of slowing down old phones. There's a lot of ill will about these types of suits, but this is a pretty good example of how out of hand things can get without the threat of litigation. [Daily Business Review] * Texas Lawyer put together a top 10 list of the troubled lawyers and judges of 2017. [Texas Lawyer] * Steptoe's John Nolan Jr., who negotiated the Bay of Pigs prisoner releases, has passed. [National Law Journal]
