Aaron Schlossberg

Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 05.24.18

* For Tex McIver, love means never having to say you're sorry... for shooting your wife in the back. [Daily Report Online] * Vivia Chen wonders if my personal trolling that finally convinced Aaron Schlossberg to release a statement distancing himself from his racist tirade. The answer is yes. [American Lawyer] * Michael Avenatti got some bad news in court the other day when a judge ordered his firm to pay $10 million to a lawyer who used to work with them and alleged the firm shorted him on his share of the profits. [NY Post] * Ben Brafman's working overtime to convince federal prosecutors to stay out of the Harvey Weinstein matter. If successful, Brafman would just have to tell Cy Vance that Weinstein is rich and that should shut down the whole inquiry. [New York Law Journal] * Trump's continued attacks on federal law enforcement are... bad. Thankfully, trickster god Rod Rosenstein has a plan. [Atlantic] * The appeals court upheld the ruling striking down California's assisted suicide law. That's probably the right result in this case. [NPR] * AI is changing the legal sector. Especially when you realize that AI isn't what its hype men were selling a couple years ago. [Forbes] * MSU has a new lawyer and he'll have his hands full. [Corporate Counsel]
