[Montana Free Press] * Law firm leadership FOMO. [American Lawyer] * Michael Avenatti may be out of prison sooner than expected. [Reuters] * Elite firms cooling on California hiring. [Bloomberg Law News] * Commission accuses judge of abusing contempt power to bully courtroom. Seems like a lot of that going around these days.
