Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 06.27.23

* How do firms motivate attorneys in the modern era. I'm sure telling them to abandon their kids or you're cutting their compensation will work! [American Lawyer] * Legal departments preparing for a sharp uptick in litigation. Wow, this would be a really convenient time to accidentally delete 47 million emails, huh? [Corporate Counsel] * Judge Aileen Cannon rejects (without prejudice though) the DOJ bid to keep a long list of witness names sealed. Folks are going to jump all over this but... this seems right? At least without more support from DOJ. [The Guardian] * Louisiana lawyer bought 8,888 Jell-O shots. While that sounds like a normal Monday in Louisiana, in this case it was a charity event for the College World Series. [WDSU] * Convict punches lawyer after conviction. [NY Post] * RiteAid is dropping law firms with personal ties to executives, which is impressive because Supreme Court justices won't even cut loose litigants with close personal ties. [Bloomberg Law News] * FTX says they've recovered $7B. That's great and all, but maybe we could invest that in some magic bean tokens and see what happens! [Law360]
