Leonardo DiCaprio’s Summer Of Fun Interrupted Because Some Guy Didn’t Like The Toupée His Character Wore In ‘Wolf Of Wall Street’

Morning Docket: 06.20.16
* Friday was a relatively slow day for raises, with only six firms reporting for duty. We heard from Katten, Allen & Overy, WilmerHale, King & Spalding, Fish & Richardson, and Choate. [Above the Law / 2016 Salary Increase] * Merrick Garland told some fifth graders the secret of success. But when they seemed boggled by "filibuster-proof majorities" he just told them to work hard. [National Law Journal] * Just another "lawyer bites man" story. [Chicago Tribune] * Chocolate Deputy GC suspended for questioning the board. This may sound like one of those "right Twix, left Twix" commercials but it's real. [Corporate Counsel] * Shameless bid to meet Leonardo DiCaprio via deposition moves forward. [Law360] * New York votes to reform law that banned selling booze on Sunday mornings. I've actually never known a restaurant to respect the existing law, but good to know. [CBS News] * Controversy over the ALI. Somehow "wedgies" factor into this story. [Verdict]
