Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 09.13.18

* Brett Kavanaugh admits he played dice, but not for money. If you believe that, I've got some $80K baseball tickets to sell you. [Huffington Post] * When you hear about people ignoring authorities and remaining in the path of a hurricane, you may not think of lawyers, but some attorneys in the path of Florence are embracing the opportunity to finally get some work done. [Law.com] * El Chapo's lawyer may have a conflict of interest. Saul Goodman couldn't be reached for comment. [NY Post] * D.C. Circuit set to hear case about the IRS's obligation to turn over Trump's tax returns. This is another of those cases where losing is its own victory -- the tax returns are almost certainly less interesting than how aggressively he's fighting this. [National Law Journal] * Alyssa Milano partners with the Vera Institute of Justice promoting the SAFE Families Fund to protect immigrant families targeted by the government. [San Diego Union Tribune] * Trump's divorce lawyer has sold a tell-all book. That's either a marketing lie or he has some client confidentiality issues. [Page Six] * "Strangely my most memorable case was also in some respects my least enjoyable" -- the best way to make a mark is to leave a scar. [Legal Cheek]
