Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 05.07.20

* A class-action lawsuit has been filed over a water main break that recently occurred in Hudson County, New Jersey. Please make it so I don't have to boil water again anytime soon. [Jersey Digs] * An attorney may face a three-month suspension for using foul language during a deposition. Feel like we all know a few lawyers who should be put on notice by this. [ABA Journal] * The New York Attorney General is appealing a decision that reinstated the New York presidential primary. [Bloomberg Law] * A fifth murder trial is expected against a Maryland man accused of killing a security guard. It's been a while since I've seen the movie Double Jeopardy, but this must be an interesting set of facts. [Baltimore Sun] * The Attorney General of Texas is calling for the immediate release of a salon owner who opened her shop despite closures related to COVID-19. Maybe the AG just needed a haircut? [CBS News] * All lawyers in Virginia are now going to be required to maintain a valid email address. Seems like this rule is a little overdue. [Virginia Lawyers Weekly]
