Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 06.14.16

* A whopping ten firms announced raises after 5 p.m. last night. Texas boutique Yetter Coleman had the common decency to announce during the day, but Locke Lord, Hogan Lovells, MoFo, Paul Hastings, Wilson Sonsini, Gibson Dunn, Akin Gump, Baker & McKenzie, Ropes & Gray and Bracewell all waited until after regular business hours to let their associates off pins and needles. [2016 Salary Increase / Above the Law] * As fate would have it, the Supreme Court will get its first opportunity to consider post-Sandy Hook gun laws on Thursday. [National Law Journal] * In this Breitbart News podcast, Donald Trump explains that his judicial appointments "will be picked by the Federalist Society." FedSoc immediately cringed at being brought into the conversation. [Soundcloud] * One law school cancels classes on election day to promote civic duty, five-day weekends. [Bloomberg / Big Law Business] * Ziff Davis intends to buy Gawker, but isn't sure whether or not it will respect the collective bargaining agreement. It did seem hard to believe we lived in a world where unions were on the upswing again. [Law360] * A challenge to Indiana's new abortion law will go before a judge today. [IndyStar] * Speaking of abortion, here's an account of a law student's struggle upon learning she was pregnant during 3L year. [Forward] * In the wake of the Supreme Court's opinion in Bryant striking a blow for the legitimacy of tribal courts, it's worth remembering the tremendous access to justice problems that plague reservations. [The Marshall Project]
