Lawyer Says ‘Everything’ ‘Evaporated Overnight’ After Attending Capitol Riot
Don't worry -- he has no regrets.
Morning Docket: 01.20.22
* SCOTUS denied Trump's attempt to block over 700 pages of information about the Jan. 6th attempted coup. Hopefully it’s not just a series of the rioters reciting their favorite lines from "The Apprentice.“ [CNBC] * A guy who allegedly assaulted a police officer at the failed coup doubles down and gets arrested for driving drunk. This is what happens when you don't comply, I guess. [Daily Beast] * Sold on the idea that you'll just work summers in law school? While it’s not impossible, give this thread a run though — might give you some perspective. [Reddit] * Prof. Chemerinsky gives a rallying cry for students and professors. Though heartfelt, it is unlikely to answer the question on most students’ minds: "How do I approach the final?" [Mercury News] * No more peanut gallery: New Jersey just banned packing peanuts to help save the environment. Save the earth and all, but I hope they don't come for my dear bubble wrap! [NJ.com]
