Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 07.24.23

* Come August, The Wisconsin Supreme Court will be a majority Democrat. Liberals in the state have big plans -- particularly on abortion and voting rights. [Huffington Post] * The DOJ and FTC have released new merger guidelines. They want to bring antitrust enforcement back to its roots. [Law360] * Want a corporate board seat? Now's your moment! Thanks to increased regulations everyone wants an attorney on their board. [Bloomberg Law] * Sam Bankman-Fried will finally shut up. The talkative founder of crypto exchange FTX has accepted a gag order in the criminal case against him, though his attorney contest that his previous interviews with reporters amounts to witness tampering. [Reuters] * Biglaw "caste system"? Sounds pretty accurate to me. [Law.com] * With more legal threat closing in, Donald Trump is only getting Trump-ier. Thankfully, that's unlikely to work in court. [Salon]
