Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 02.16.18

* Someone keeps sending pizzas to this German lawyer. He wishes they would stop. [BBC] * While the Big 4 threaten to invade Biglaw, one possible solution to keep firms relevant is a corresponding invasion of the alternative legal provider space. Like Hogan Lovells partnering with the 1500 lawyer Elevate. [American Lawyer] * Not content to profit off of unpaid labor for decades, the NCAA is challenging the attorney fees awarded in the O'Bannon case. [Courthouse News Service] * Where people are most and least likely to follow the law. Apparently, the Vikings have this all worked out. [Forbes] * The evolving world of lawyer fashion. [ABA Journal] * Second Circuit upheld a NY law requiring tax-exempt entities to reveal their donors. Citizens United had argued that this would quell speech and that we should just trust entities enjoying tax-emempt status to not engage in fraud. Reality prevailed... so assume this gets overturned. [Law360] * On her way out the door, Rachel Brand decided to let us all know that the Department of Justice is considering intervening in more class action settlements so the government can undermine private justice too. [National Law Journal]
