Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 11.28.18
* Dr. Christine Blasey Ford says that she’s used some of the money in the GoFundMe account started by her supporters for security costs after her sexual assault testimony against then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh, but plans to donate the rest of the funds to trauma survivors. [Fox News]
* Of course Justice Department lawyers are going to appeal the ruling blocking the Trump administration’s new asylum restrictions and of course they want that ruling to be put on hold while the appeal is pending. Let’s keep teargassing kids while we’re at it. [CNN]
* Paul Manafort’s lawyers sure are acting strangely in the wake of new allegations from Robert Mueller. “You would expect them to be a little more bold and say, ‘This is untrue, he has cooperated,’” but that’s not what seems to be happening. [Daily Beast]
* “We’re very keen to do something in the U.S.” Hot off a three-way merger, U.K.-based CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang is looking for yet another merger partner, but this time, the firm’s leaders are looking across the pond. [ International]
* Sorry if you were planning to lateral up the in-house food chain from a Biglaw firm, but according to this survey from the Association of Corporate Counsel, most GCs were born and bred in corporate law departments. [Corporate Counsel]
