Morning Docket: 05.07.18
* According to Rudy Giuliani, if special counsel Robert Mueller issues a subpoena, Donald Trump "[doesn't] have to" comply with it. After all, "[h]e’s the president of the United States. [He] can assert the same privileges other presidents have." And he has no plans to allow Trump to sit for an interview with Mueller -- Giuliani won't allow him to "walk him into a prosecution for perjury." Admitting during a TV interview that your client is a liar? Check. [Washington Post] * And that's not all, folks! According to Rudy Giuliani, although he has "no knowledge" of it having happened, Michael Cohen may have paid hush money to other women -- similar to money that was paid to Stormy Daniels -- to get them to stay silent about their alleged affairs with Donald Trump "if it was necessary." [CNN] * So, about Morrison & Foerster's $100 million "mommy track" lawsuit: The firm's managing partner, Larren Nashelsky, has commented on the allegations, stating that MoFo is "somewhere between disappointed and angry" because "[i]t’s just not who we are, it’s not what we value and it’s, in fact, not how we operate." [American Lawyer] * Of course a Biglaw partner owns the horse that won the Kentucky Derby. Congrats to both Justify and C. Edward Glasscock, chairman emeritus of Frost Brown Todd, on their big win during the first leg of this year's Triple Crown. [American Lawyer] * Sylvia Bloom, a legal secretary who retired from Cleary Gottlieb after working at the firm for 67 years, amassed a $9+ million fortune by purchasing the same stocks as her boss. In her will, she directed that the majority be donated for college scholarships. Be sure to thank your maybe-millionaire secretary today, everyone. [New York Times]

Morning Docket: 10.19.12
* Congrats to Larren Nashelsky for being one bad ass MoFo. He’s taking over as Chair of Morrison & Foerster, and claims the firm’s had “some of [its] best years in recent years.” [San Francisco Business Times] * Macho, macho man! You’ve got to be, a macho man to work at Dechert. An ex-associate says he was fired for using FMLA time and blames the firm’s “macho culture” in his retaliation complaint. [National Law Journal] * Sorry, but you make too much damn money. Utah’s Judicial Conduct Commission recommended a judge for censure because his salary was “in excess of the amount allowed by law.” [Standard-Examiner] * “We’re all reacting to Darwinian pressures in the market and from students.” Maybe that’s why law schools are adding more classes having to do with careers as in-house counsel. [Corporate Counsel] * Jerry Sandusky has asked Judge John Cleland to reconsider his 30-60 year prison sentence because he thinks it’s excessive. Strange, because some people would argue it wasn’t excessive enough. [Bloomberg]
