* "[W]e will do whatever we have to do to properly protect his rights vis a vis the company." Film producer and accused rapist Harvey Weinstein has hired Hollywood power lawyer Patricia Glaser to represent him in his fight against his own company. [Hollywood Reporter] * Hogan Lovells has been in the legal press a lot lately for its decision to shut things down, like careers. Now, the firm has decided to shut down an office in a far away land called Ulaanbaatar that you've likely never heard of before. [Legal Week] * What's the easiest way to get a new practice group running? By acquiring a boutique firm that's got an "innovative approach." That's what LeClairRyan did when it swallowed up Pizzo & Haman, a workers' compensation firm which is unique in that... its attorneys charge more than others in the same practice area. [Am Law Daily] * Enrollment has gone up in a major way at the Appalachian School of Law. The school's new 1L class is about 86 percent larger than last year's entering class, and its overall enrollment has increased by almost 40 percent. Considering that the school has been struggling in recent years, this must be nice for everyone in Grundy. [WCYB] * "What Could Equifax CLO John Kelley Have Done Differently?" Literally, anything. [Corporate Counsel]
