Morning Docket: 06.23.16
* So Sheppard Mullin was our only associate raise of yesterday. Well, that's not technically true because there was another one overnight, but we don't have that post up yet. So stay tuned! [Above the Law / 2016 Salary Increase] * Jones Day sued over gender and pregnancy discrimination. Maybe this explains the firm's reticence in raising salaries: it's trying to build a record that it screws all its associates equally. [Law360] * Jimmy Johns agrees to drop its ludicrous noncompete agreements as part of a settlement with the NYAG's office. Finally, Subway and Quiznos can build that lateral market we always desperately needed. [CNBC] * Did this GC lose her job over her Tweets? [Corporate Counsel] * The American Constitution Society unveiled a study proving what we pretty much would have expected -- judges are mostly white dudes. But the extent of the racial and gender disparity is astounding. [Gavel Gap] * Texas Senator sues Dez Bryant. Is this finally something he can't blame on the rest of the team? [Courthouse News Service] * Interesting profile of Jodi Ettenberg, the world traveling food connoisseur former lawyer we've covered before. [Business Insider]
