Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 02.22.18

* Only 23 percent of law school grads think their education was worth the cost. That number seems high. [CNBC] * Apparently, judges can't use their office to trade leniency for nude photos. You learn something new every day. [Courthouse News Service] * Professor Epps patiently explains how bad Clarence Thomas is at basic constitutional law. [The Atlantic] * Ogletree slapped with a sexual harassment suit on the heels of a big gender discrimination suit. Somebody over there really needs to learn labor law. [The Recorder] * Just as a recap: Protecting minority voting rights -- not a priority for the DOJ. Challenging a settlement to give people $2 wine coupons -- absolutely a priority for the DOJ. [National Law Journal] * Summer programs are shrinking again, so go ahead and start panicking. [American Lawyer] * Boies is leading a coalition challenging the "winner-take-all" electoral system -- but not the Electoral College itself -- as an affront to "one person, one vote." Because when I think about improving fairness, it's turning over the task of choosing Electors to gerrymandered maps. [Bloomberg] * School superintendent about to get a crash course on basic constitutional law. [Washington Post]
