Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 06.18.18

* This weekend, a passerby recognized Michael Cohen on the street, calling him out as "that guy that’s going to jail." For his part, President Trump later recognized Michael Cohen as a "good person," calling him out as "not my lawyer anymore." Ouch. [The Hill] * For what it's worth, Michael Cohen may not have to worry about jailtime for too long. After all, Rudy Giuliani says that the president may pardon Paul Manafort after the conclusion of the Russia investigation. His longtime personal lawyer could very well get a pardon thrown his way too. [Washington Post] * Justice Anthony Kennedy had dinner in Manhattan this weekend following his grandson's graduation, and he was treated like the superstar that he is. Per sources, as soon as Justice Kennedy arrived at Antica Pesa for his meal, “a security detail almost shut down a street, as onlookers wondered who he was.” [Page Six / New York Post] * According to a survey conducted by the Corporate Legal Operations Consortium, some in-house leaders are really angry about the latest Biglaw associate raises, and other in-house leaders aren't angry about them at all -- so long as they don't have to pay more for their outside counsel, that is. [Corporate Counsel] * Hot off the heels of her settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes was recently indicted on charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in an alleged scheme to con investors and mislead doctors and patients.
