Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 03.02.15

* Unfortunately, it seems that if you want to get an elite legal education in this country, you're going to have to pay an arm and a leg for it. This year's NLJ Top 10 Go-To Law Schools each have a sticker price that's greater than $50K. [National Law Journal] * Hamline University's president thinks it was smarter for her law school to merge with William Mitchell Law than for it to close altogether -- hey, it'll still bear the Hamline name and its dying carcass won't be on her books anymore! [Star Tribune] * Later this week, SCOTUS will hear oral arguments in King v. Burwell, a case that could decimate the Affordable Care Act as we know it. At this point, the justices must be contemplating how many people will lose if the plaintiffs here win. [Wall Street Journal] * An ADA from the Brooklyn DA's office who prosecuted drug cases was canned after his colleagues learned that he failed to report his personal connection to an admitted cocaine dealer. Perhaps they were jealous he refused to share his hookup. [New York Daily News] * In case you missed it, Above the Law, your favorite legal website, has been "rankle[d]" by a new series on CNNMoney called "Above the Law." We know you're as ticked off about this as we are, so we hope you'll help us write our cease-and-desist letter. [Am Law Daily]
