Morning Docket: 08.24.22

* The ACLU is fighting an Arizona law that prevents citizens from recording police officers within 8 feet of them. Personally, I hope they win. Harder to turn off iPhones then bodycams. [CNN] * Zuckerberg is no longer party to a Meta antitrust suit. [Axios] * Shortly after being released from prison, he was deported to Cambodia. You think they'd let you enjoy society for a bit after you paid your debt to it, yeah? [SF Chronicle] * This drug pricing law could be a poison pill for cancer research.

* Manny Pacquiao is headed to court after a pair of Nevada fans sued him for failing to disclose his torn rotator cuff before entering the ring. They feel this was dishonest, but Manny is a politician, so... [Bloomberg Business] * Trial of man who knocked out his lawyer delayed after he... attacked his new lawyer. [Post Star] * What are the lyrics to "Louie, Louie"? It's a question that stumped our "top men" back in the day. [The Legal Satyricon] * Tort reform advocates talk a big game, but the harms they try to cure are mostly non-existent. [LFC 360] * Could this be another Indiana lawyer behaving badly? [Indianapolis Star] * Lat will be chatting about his unusual career path -- in case you hadn't heard, he has a book, Supreme Ambitions (affiliate link) -- in Denver on May 13. [Federalist Society] * Speaking of Colorado, a prisoner there serving a life sentence wrote Above the Law the other day explaining that his pro bono lawyer had died and asking us for legal help. We don't do that kind of work, but if you're an interested criminal defense lawyer in Colorado, let us know.

* Sorry, ladies — the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to a baby boy. Unlikely to be named “Joffrey.” [Today] * The PAC-12 is trying to block a for-profit university from joining Division I athletics. Hear hear. Division I athletics is for making millions exploiting an unpaid labor force and is no place for something as crass as a for-profit school. [Sports Illustrated] * Professor Kyle Graham wonders: Do judges have slumps? [noncuratlex] * If you’re fed up with the law, consider being a trophy wife! [The Careerist] * For those high school graduates who already know they want to be lawyers, Denver Law has a joint Bachelor’s/J.D. program. So what’s the angle here? Locking undergrads into DU Law years in advance, or protecting DU’s LSAT median by filling the class with students who don’t take the LSAT? [University of Denver Law School] * Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai has pardoned a Norwegian woman who had been sentenced to prison for the transgression of being raped. Remember, Dubai is the relatively forward-thinking country in the region. [CNN] * Justice Kagan can get a little snarky, can’t she? [Dorf on Law] * Trevor Faure of Ernst & Young explains how a variety of market forces have placed law firms and their clients in an almost adversarial setting. Video after the jump….
