Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 09.05.19

* A look back at 40 years of Biglaw financials. Spoiler alert: they made a lot of money. [American Lawyer] * Greg Craig was acquitted! Good news for all the lobbyists and foreign agents out there who (wink wink) aren't lobbyists and foreign agents. [WSJ] * Department of Labor official resigns after anti-Semitic social media posts surface. Frankly, one would've expected him to stay to own the libs. [Bloomberg Law] * CVS and Aetna get their clearance to merge because despite all Judge Leon's rage at DOJ he's still just a rat in a cage that happens to keep people from caring about antitrust enforcement. [Law360] * Simple way to fix harassment in Silicon Valley. [The Atlantic] * It's a day that ends in "y" so Dentons just got bigger. [Dentons] * Does Chambers have a blindspot for women? [Careerist] * For those of you following the Alphabet/Google CLO shenanigans, the GC just married an employee this weekend, but not the employee who says he neglected their baby after he had an affair with her while married to yet another person. [CNBC]
