Morning Docket: 01.19.23

* With productivity in decline, are we set to see a boom in alternative fee arrangements. No... but isn't it pretty to think so? [American Lawyer] * Alex Spiro is arguing that Elon Musk's false tweets were just "technical wordsmith inaccuracies." Not sure how it's a technicality to say "funding secured" when funding had not, in fact, been secured, but kudos for trying. [Ars Technica] * Rupert Murdoch faces questions in the ongoing Dominion defamation case where he'll testify like Mr. Burns negotiating with kidnappers, "$5000? $6000? I swear, that's all I've got." [Reuters] * After forcing Hector LaSalle to suffer the foregone indignity of getting rejected by the committee, Kathy Hochul has at least taken a tentative step back from her threat to sue fellow Democrats on "because you made me sad" grounds. [Bloomberg] * Flo Rida wins $82 million in dispute with energy drink company. Much like the club, the company's lawyers couldn't handle him. [Billboard]
