Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 02.21.19

* Accountants are the new bakers when it comes to discriminating against gay people. I guess this means tax prep is more a matter of artistic interpretation, which in fairness explains Amazon's tax bill last year. [Fox News] * Tesla GC self-driven back to Williams & Connolly after two months. [National Law Journal] * "Lawyer likens R. Kelly to Beethoven to explain studio move." Who can forget that "immortal beloved" letter about urolagnia? [Star Tribune] * A good look at the renewed effort to undermine the litigation finance business for doing the unconscionable and allowing regular folks to afford to bring meritorious claims against big companies. [CDR Magazine] * A call for law schools to be accredited based on post-graduation job prospects. It seems like a certain website's been calling for that for years now... [Law.com] * Strip club copyright suits are the lucrative niche practice no one knows about. [Law360] * Rosen likely to succeed Rosenstein. [Courthouse News Service] * Direct call for quotas to improve Biglaw diversity -- for women anyway. [Legal Cheek]
