    Morning Docket: 03.27.19

    * Attorney General William Barr says he plans to make a version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report available to Congress and the public within a matter of weeks, and apparently the White House won’t be receiving a copy in advance of the release. [Wall Street Journal]

    * Speaking of the Mueller report, Rudy Giuliani says he wouldn’t have any issues with releasing Trump’s written testimony that was submitted to Mueller. Jay Sekulow would beg to differ. [Washington Examiner]

    * The EU approved the controversial Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive, a new IP law that will govern the way copyrighted material is uploaded online and who will be liable for infringement. At least memes are exempt? [BBC News]

    * Congratulations to Bridget Bade, who was just confirmed to the Ninth Circuit. She’s the 37th circuit court judge to be appointed by President Trump, who is changing the makeup of the federal judiciary, one conservative judge at a time. [Big Law Business]

    * Elon Musk must appear in court next week for a contempt hearing over his Tesla tweets against self-interest that are allegedly in breach of his settlement agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. [CNN]

    * Your bracket may be busted, but this Biglaw associate has a near-perfect track record. She’s gotten 46 out of 48 matchups right thus far, and at one point she was one of just eight people in the country with a perfect bracket. [American Lawyer]
