Morning Docket: 11.29.21
* Thanksgiving turkey have you thinking about home insurance? This might be worth a look. [Law360] * The Department of Transportation is in hot water over a (bad) meme that might count as lobbying. Maybe this is a sign they should leave it to the professionals. [FOX News] * If not knowing enough about the Rittenhouse and Arbery trial outcomes made your uncle question if your JD was really better than his "research" (read: Google searches), it might be a good time to review some legal concepts. Let's start with felony murder. [NPR] * Maine's "Right to Food" law probably has Wickard turning in his crops. C'est la vie. [Economist] * Oregon is about to pass the CROWN law which may help our coaches and coworkers achieve a goal they've been struggling with for a very long time -- leaving black folks the hell alone. [OPB]
