Morning Docket: 03.31.23

* Ron DeSantis announces that he won't allow Trump to be extradited to New York. Welcome to the phase of American decline where Florida is basically Somalia. [Politico] * Speaking of DeSantis, some more on the Disney fiasco with a nice pull quote! [LA Times] * And now more on the Trump situation... Elie Mystal explaining that statutes of limitations are a thing. [The Nation] * Wells Fargo to pay $98 million in sanctions for deals with Iran, Syria, and Sudan. The wrongdoing began in predecessor entity Wachovia, who apparently failed to WATCH-OVIA its compliance. I'll show myself out. [Law360] * Biglaw profits are down after a gangbusters 2021. Maybe firms should drop the draconian office surveillance policies and go back to working from home when they were profitable. [American Lawyer] * Senators eye guardianship bill of rights so people will officially have to leave Britney alone -- and all the other people who didn't have her access to elite lawyering. [Bloomberg Law News] * Italy banning ChatGPT citing privacy regulations, which seems like it's going to be more of a thing. [Verge]
