Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 12.30.21

* Michigan and other states saw a lot more fraudulent claims where people asked the government for financial assistance. Probably wouldn't be a thing if there was UBI, but hey. [NPR] * Playing both sides partnered well for her legal career. Maybe you should do the same? [Law.com] * California wants businesses to open their black boxes. Maybe this is a sign we should all be more transparent come 2022. [Marketplace] * Florida judge found love in a hopeless place and got his license suspended for it. Is recusal not a thing down there or something? [Tampa Bay Times] * High hopes for equity could mean abolishing the bar. I can't wait for last call on unnecessary testing. [The Hill]
