Morning Docket: 04.10.18
* Now that the FBI is all up in his business, Squire Patton Boggs has cut ties with Michael Cohen. They had been working together in an amorphous strategic alliance that was almost certainly some kind of murky lobbying-related arrangement. [American Lawyer] * Today is Equal Pay Day and in-house counsel hold the key to remedying pay inequality. [Corporate Counsel] * This lawyer's got 99 problems and all of them are a year in prison for trading sex for legal work. [Texas Lawyer] * Trump advised that he can't contribute to legal defense fund. This story assumes the phony billionaire has enough non-debt-financed disposable income to help his cronies, which is a very open question. [Bloomberg] * In shocker, the Texas Supreme Court doesn't understand homosexuality. [Slate] * Wilmer and Foley Hoag seek documents to prove the Family Research Council and the Heritage Foundation drove the administration's decision to ban transgender troops -- since we know the general serving as Secretary of Defense wasn't pushing it. [National Law Journal] * Gawker's liability releases hit snag. [Law360]
