Manhattan

Morning Docket: 07.03.20

* Tennessee has become the second state in the country to delay the administration of the summer bar exam. [Nashville Post] * A New Jersey lawyer has been disbarred for converting $92,000 from his attorney trust account. [New Jersey Law Journal] * A Manhattan judge (before whom I argued my first motion years ago!) has dismissed a conservative group's defamation lawsuit against the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center. [New York Daily News] * Joe Biden's campaign is preparing an army of lawyers as part of voter protection efforts. [CNN] * The ACLU has filed a lawsuit seeking to delay an execution because the inmate's Buddhist priest is at risk of complications should he contract COVID-19. Have to give props to those lawyers for a creative argument. [Hill]
