Morning Docket: 10.14.21
* California is making sure 23andMe doesn't become 23andUs with new genetic data privacy law. [JD Supra] * California appeals court upholds law banning fracking. They have been on fire lately! No, not like that. [Jurist] * Law firms are facing a big burnout problem. I realized things were bad when they run the risk of losing their star lawyers to TikTok. [Law.com] * Montana lawsuit claims that prohibition on holding voting drives at high traffic college campus areas suppresses students' right to vote. And that makes sense. I'd probably still be unregistered if not for being hounded on my way to Philosophy 102. [Daily Interlake] * Missouri man who followed and killed two people over $200 found not guilty because of stand your ground law. This feels really familiar. [KSHB] * Texas's juvenile prisons are being investigated by the Department of Justice. [New York Times]
