Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 07.17.23

* Federal courts consider continuing COVID-era streaming of proceedings. Just like all the ethical rules, this won't apply to the Supreme Court. [Bloomberg Law News] * Some firms have moved to four mandatory office days... but it's been a "slow trickle." And Biglaw isn't used to slow trickles when it comes to policy changes. [American Lawyer] * Judge rules state ban on high-capacity magazines does not violate Second Amendment. So start the clock on this getting struck down. [CNN] * Biglaw attorney quits to bicycle from Canada to Argentina. [LegalCheek] * Shocking no one, when police bar the ticky-tack justifications for pretextual stops, pretextual stops go down. [Reuters] * More Twitter execs suing for unpaid legal bills. This guy really hates Biglaw fees, huh? [Law360] * A slice of history when first-year associates were only making $70K. That's $188K in today's dollars. Of course private law school tuition averaged under $10K/year then, which under be around $27K/year in today's dollars. Instead it costs around $50K so associates are still falling behind. [Intuitive Career Coaching]
