Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 12.12.22

* Virginia becomes final T14 school to announce its intentions with the U.S. News & World Report rankings. The school will join the boycott. [Law.com] * Chief Judge William Pryor launched the Federalist Society's annual convention with a bunch of sneering jabs at Mark Joseph Stern (and Above the Law for that matter), so Stern called him up for an interview. Scattered among all the denialism, Pryor states that he doesn't think the organization has made clerks any more radical... a bold claim when you remember who clerks for him. [Slate] * Judge allows lawyer to see Jerry Seinfeld over Madison Square Garden effort to bar all lawyers involved in lawsuits against the venue, which actually sounds like a plot Larry David might write. [I Love the Upper West Side] * Man accused of killing his wife's divorce lawyer and setting the office on fire. A tragic reminder that family law attorneys are often targeted with violence. [The Guardian] * Politico asks if Adrian Vermeule's "Common Good Constitutionalism" is set to unseat originalism as a dominant right-wing legal theory. The answer is no because even conservatives think Vermeule is bonkers. [Politico]
