[NBC News] * Amazon had some harsh words for Parler after the social media site filed a lawsuit against Amazon over a suspension of services. [Fox News] * A Stanford Law professor, and legal ethics expert, has passed away at the age of 68. [Washington Post] * Mary-Kate Olsen's lawyer says her divorce has been "resolved." Is she certain?

* Attorneys associated with the Trial Lawyers College are currently embroiled in litigation. It would be amazing if this case went to trial... [Bloomberg Law] * An ex-lawyer from Atlanta, who hired a hitman to murder his wife, has died of natural causes in prison. [Daily Mail] * Check out a behind-the-scenes look at a lawyer featured on the new Netflix show Trial by Media. Haven't gotten to that episode yet. [NBC News] * A New York City judge has denied Mary-Kate Olsen's request for an emergency divorce, even though she may be forced out of her apartment. Guess she can always crash with Ashley. [Fox News] * An appeals court has refused to dismiss an emoluments lawsuit against President Trump, setting up a battle at the Supreme Court. [Business Insider] * The L.A. City Attorney is suing the maker of a radish paste that allegedly provides protection from COVID-19. Sounds kind of like the Carbolic Smoke Ball, haven't thought about that fact pattern since law school. [Los Angeles Times]
