Even if firms remain divided over what that looks like in practice. [American Lawyer] * Director Doug Liman did a more comprehensive job vetting Brett Kavanaugh than the FBI. [Washington Post] * Government asks to hold Martin Shkreli in contempt. There are so many industries in this world... is it that hard not to start a business in one covered by a court order?
