Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 06.21.18

* Michael Cohen resigns his RNC position in an email sharply criticizing the administration's child separation policy. So now we've reached the point where Michael Cohen is a sympathetic figure. [CNBC] * Supreme Court justice arrested on 22 criminal counts and faces 395 years in prison. Obviously it's a state supreme court, but try to guess which state! [Courthouse News Service] * Former Dewey & LeBoeuf CFO Joel Sanders was disbarred yesterday. Dewey know who needs a new career? [Law360] * Forcibly administering drugs to children is bad and the only downside of the royal whupping these jackboot thugs will eventually receive in the courts is that we'll here another decade of false comparisons from the anti-Vaxxer crowd. [HuffPost] * Allen & Overy partners fly to America for their annual meeting where they are definitely not talking about merging with O'Melveny because they've all denied that and law firms wouldn't lie to us. [International] * Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer closing in on a settlement in the long-running $214 million malpractice suit against them. * Europe pondering a law that would screw up the Internet. Obviously. [WIRED]
