Biglaw Associate Killed In Helicopter Crash
We would like to extend our condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues during this extremely difficult time.
Morning Docket: 03.19.18
* "This is crazy." Donald Trump reportedly had members of his White House senior staff sign nondisclosure agreements that are supposed to last beyond his presidency. This raised some brows, but dissenters concluded that the contracts weren't likely to be enforceable, so they signed on the dotted line. Yes, crazy. [Washington Post] * With quotes from "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," President Trump’s personal lawyer, John Dowd, said -- first on behalf of the president as his counsel, and later, on behalf of only himself (oopsie?) -- that it's time for the Mueller probe to end. [Daily Beast] * And following a tweet storm about Mueller this weekend, it certainly seems like President Trump is gearing up to fire the special counsel. Congressional Republicans are less than pleased with the president's behavior, and have issued a few stern warnings, urging Trump not to cross the "massive red [Mueller] line," because "that would be the beginning of the end of his presidency." [New York Times] * Are you ready for legal sports betting? Your bookie might not be, but America's four major U.S. sports leagues are preparing for anything and everything that could happen as a result of the Supreme Court's forthcoming ruling. [Washington Post] * "What're you in for?" "A law degree." According to a report from the ACLU, debts "from medical bills to car payments to student loans" are being criminalized, and courts across the country are issuing arrest warrants. [Idaho Statesman] * Christopher Tripp Zanetis, NYFD fire marshal, U.S. Air Force captain, Debevoise associate, RIP. We'll have more on his passing later today. [American Lawyer]
