Ridding society of the immense harms caused by prohibition more than outweighs any negatives that could ever be attributed to legalization.
Morning Docket: 06.13.19
* Legal experts seem somewhat concerned about Trump going on TV and inviting foreign intelligence agencies to intervene in the election. On behalf of the great George Bluth, I ask, "what's wrong with a little light treason?" [Huffington Post] * Michael Flynn has hired Sidney Powell, probably because she goes on Fox News to bash Mueller. Sounds like a perfect reason to fire Covington & Burling. Oh, and now Trump is hailing the move because his only grasp of legal talent is "appearing on TV." [National Law Journal] * Meanwhile, in the UK, a lawyer argues that vegans should be legally exempt from tea time. [Legal Cheek] * "LawDude" lawyer buys Confederate statue for $1.4 million. It's unknown if this purchase was for himself or as an agent for some unknown racist. [Dallas Morning News] * Nevada brings marijuana laws to logical conclusion by preventing most employers from dinging people who test positive for it. [WIVB] * Bryan Singer settles rape claim for $150K which sounds very much like a nuisance settlement. [The Wrap] * Payday lender Scott Tucker is trying his "tribal sovereignty" defense again desperately hoping someone will join him in thinking "Kansas City" is on a reservation. [Law360]
Morning Docket: 05.28.19
* Law firm diversity score cards are here, and.... African-American lawyers are still not being represented. Yikes. [Law.com] * Judge Kozinski may be gone from the Ninth Circuit, but it is still hard work to change the culture there. [Big Law Business] * Oakland is the second city looking to decriminalize hallucinogenic mushrooms. Plan your vacations accordingly. [The Hill] * In a continuing embarrassment to NYC, Rudy Giuliani wants a new role in the 2020 Trump campaign. [Politico] * 5 firms have been cut out of the NFL concussion case. [Law360] * Ted Wells for the defense, in New Jersey tax incentives case. [National Law Journal] * Will New York strengthen sexual harassment laws? Well, maybe. But at least they're having hearing on the issue. [New York Law Journal]
Morning Docket: 05.17.19
* Now Spider-Man is trying to save America from high drug prices. Big pharma, on the other hand, is rooting for the Thanos solution. [The Recorder] * Weekend at Bernie's meets The Verdict: Attorney kept pushing after his client died and never bothered to tell anyone. [ABA Journal] * Thornton Law Firm gets off on campaign fraud charges. Thornton had helped out Democrats... the Republicans on the FEC let them off. Even though this transparently helps Trump's claims vis a vis Cohen, he'll probably complain about it anyway. [CommonWealth Magazine] * Law firms fall prey to cybercrime... again. [American Lawyer] * Trump's unveiled a new immigration "plan" that reads like one of Steve King's wet dreams. [USA Today] * Purdue Pharma's legal problems mount faster than the rampant addiction problem they've spread. [Washington Post] * Tex McIver, the law firm partner who killed his wife because he was scared of black people, thinks he should be able to sue over his wife's death... that he caused. [Daily Report]
