* Trump Tweets out his demand that Chief Justice Roberts crack down on Judge Collyer for not using the FISA court to undermine the Russia probe. Did Trump do misspell Judge Collyer's name in the process? Oh you know by now that of course he did. [Reuters via Huffington Post] * No sooner did a jury actually convict a cop of killing an unarmed black teen, did they turn around and sentence him to less than even the defense attorneys dreamed of. [Courthouse News Service] * The SEC fined Moody's over poor controls, which seems about a decade too late, but whatever. [Corporate Counsel] * Is Rudy Giuliani using his relationship to the president to further his lobbying career? That would be really shocking for someone involved with this administration! [National Law Journal] * Eighth Circuit approves corporate discrimination efforts. [The Recorder] * FIFA convict compared to John McCain... I guess because they'll both be spending time in captivity? [NY Post] * Clifford Chance slapped with fine for discriminating against non-U.S. citizens. You can take the firm out of Rogers & Wells, but you can't take the Rogers & Wells out of the firm.

As he said upon arrest, maybe his life really is over... [The Recorder] * Professor Stephanos Bibas of Penn Law was confirmed to the Third Circuit by the Senate in a 53-43 vote. According to the law school's dean, Bibas “possesses all the skills to excel on the federal bench." Congratulations! [Philadelphia Inquirer] * Justice Joan Larsen of the Michigan Supreme Court was confirmed to the Sixth Circuit by the Senate in a 60-38 vote. If you recall, Larsen was on the original version of President Trump's Supreme Court shortlist, and was one of his top five finalists for Justice Neil Gorsuch's position. Congratulations! [Detroit Free Press] * Cozen O'Connor’s lobbying affiliate, Cozen O’Connor Public Strategies, poached a five-lawyer team of lobbyists from Manatt, and now Manatt no longer has a lobbying practice.
