[Bloomberg Law] * Attorney General Barr looked on as people protested over the death of George Floyd outside of the White House yesterday. [Fox News] * New York is predictably experiencing a spike in litigation filings now that new cases can be initiated. [Advance Local] * The two Brooklyn attorneys accused of firebombing an NYPD police car have been granted bail. [New York Times] * The Second Circuit has rejected claims of qualified immunity over the shooting of a mentally ill man. [New York Law Journal] * A lawyer who had his client's case dismissed due to failure of service of process, and falsely claimed he had malpractice insurance, has been suspended from practice.
