Morning Docket: 08.15.19

* The economy is about to tank and cost 10,000+ lawyers their jobs. Maybe someone should step up and do something about it? [Slate] * Simpson and Skadden are advising WeWork on its IPO. Common sense is advising everyone else against it. [American Lawyer] * Latest Circuit Court nominee is 11 years out of law school, frighteningly making him a model of experience. [National Law Journal] * Recovering from Jeffrey Epstein's estate is going to be a hell of a mess. [New York Law Journal] * The short-sell attack on Burford Capital could spark more regulation... even if the whole thing was bogus. [Law.com] * The idiot in charge of Barstool Sports stumbles into NLRB violation then demands AOC "debate" him. It's not a debate dude. It's a law that you broke. There's not a gray area for contestation. [Variety]
