[The New Republic] * NYC lateral hiring at 3-year high. [New York Law Journal] * Alex Murdaugh now suing the clerk whose actions led to his murder convictions getting overturned. [ABA Journal] * Boies Schiller and Dentons defeat RICO suit brought by former client. [Reuters] * Quinn Emanuel sanctioned... more. [Law360]
