Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 09.08.23
* Alabama’s open defiance of the Supreme Court’s election law ruling sets up a potential return trip to DC, with Republicans hoping they can flip Brett Kavanaugh this time. A new leak — which we’ll also never get to the bottom of — suggests Kavanaugh’s original vote was the product of lengthy negotiations with John Roberts. Is Roberts leaking this to shame Kavanaugh into remaining consistent… or is Alito leaking this to call Kavanaugh a cuck for respecting the Voting Rights Act? Both good guesses! [CNN]
* Speaking of Kavanaugh, he says that being a judge is like being an umpire. Though for colleagues like Thomas and Alito it seems to be more like being an NBA referee. Specifically Tim Donaghy. [Law360]
* Data privacy is a massive battleground for future legal tussles, but law schools are more interested in maintaining courses on who controls a whale carcass under admiralty law to bother teaching about data. [Legaltech News]
* Judge Pauline Newman releases her medical tests as the Federal Circuit continues its unconstitutional power grab to force her off the bench. Again, the judiciary should have term limits, but until it does this is a matter for the legislative branch. [Bloomberg Law News]
* In “dog bites man” news, Peter Navarro convicted on contempt of Congress charges. [Reuters]
* Eversheds lawyer apparently punched a banker for using a slur. This is toward the top of the lengthy list of reasons to punch bankers. [Roll on Friday]

* If Senator Whitehouse thinks John Roberts will take action after Sam Alito straight up admitted to breaching ethics rules, then he doesn’t know John Roberts! [Law360]
* Oregon Supreme Court voting on whether to become the first state in the modern era to offer a full apprenticeship path to the bar. [Reuters]
* GPT-4 wins a lawyering contest featuring various AI options, but still isn’t as good as humans. Kinda supercharges why states might want to find licensing pathways that don’t involve an algorithm gaming a test, huh? [New Scientist]
* Nationwide says it is not on your side if you’re accused of aiding in an abduction. [Law.com]
* John Eastman has failed to get out of his disciplinary proceeding on Fifth Amendment grounds. That was the obvious outcome, but if John Eastman accepted the obvious dictates of the law he wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place. [Bloomberg Law News]
* An interview with super agent Leigh Steinberg. [ABA Journal]
* CiteRight and Jurisage to merge as Canadian legal tech providers eye expansion. [Law.com International]

* A study of law students using AI on exams found that low performing students did better, high performing students did worse. [Reuters]
