Morning Docket: 06.11.19
* Another attorney opts into the Jones Day sex discrimination suit. [Law360] * Bill introduced to legalize sex work in New York. Eliot Spitzer wondering, "where were you when I needed you?" [NBC New York] * Supreme Court balks at lawsuit seeking to expand constitutional protection for silencers. Remember, the only thing that can stop a bad guy performing an assassination in East Berlin is a good guy performing an assassination in East Berlin. [Reuters] * John Dean stopped by Congress to give a history lesson since no one else is honoring their subpoenas. [Courthouse News Service] * Pepper Hamilton more or less kept tight control of its investigation into the Baylor sexual assault case, but now it could face sanctions for potentially withholding records requested in a civil suit arising from the matter. [Texas Lawyer] * Trump's team takes its "legitimate legislative purpose" argument to the D.C. Circuit. Shouldn't some wizened Republican be stepping up and putting a stop to this argument before Trump inadvertently guts the Congress that the party has worked so hard to gerrymander of any real authority? [National Law Journal] * Student launches crowdfunding campaign to pay for legal education. But this is Britain so he only needs about $80K to go to Cambridge instead of $200K+ to go to a TTT. [Legal Cheek] * The proposed extradition law that could allow China to nab people in Hong Kong could undermine foreign involvement in the semi-autonomous region. And that means a lot of big law firms. [CNN]
