Morning Docket

Morning Docket 11.21.2019

* Since ATL hasn't had a Lawyerly Lairs segment in a while, just wanted to point out that an attorney involved with the Madoff case just put his NYC apartment back on the market. [New York Post] * An MSU sorority has settled a lawsuit involving the banishment of a therapy rabbit from a sorority house. Hopefully the rabbit doesn't have to be hazed. [Detroit Free Press] * A disbarred attorney has been charged with leaving threatening voicemails for a judge. Way to add insult to injury. [The Monitor] * Google and other companies are implementing changes to adapt to a new California law involving data privacy. [Reuters] * It looks like Elon Musk will face a trial next month over his "pedo guy" tweets after a judge denied his motion to dismiss the case. The good news is, in a few decades, Musk will be able to write the defamation laws on Mars. [NBC] * A Mississippi district attorney has been accused of turning away black jurors over a 25-year period. [CNN] * A Utah woman could be forced to register as a sex offender for being topless in her own home even though her topless husband was not charged. Can't wait for the Supreme Court to weigh in on this. [Newsweek]
