Morning Docket: 06.14.23
* Lawyer accused of blowing millions of client money in Vegas will plead guilty. Guess she didn't like her odds... [NY Post] * Magistrate in Trump's arraignment has an extensive history of quoting music lyrics in opinions. Maybe Siting on the Potty? [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette] * Clients want to see more innovation out of law firms. Surely junking all their remote collaboration infrastructure and forcing everyone to sit in high overhead expense offices will do the trick! [American Lawyer] * Judge blocks Microsoft's acquisition of Activision until FTC completes its challenge. Quietly returns to chambers and fires up Call of Duty on a PS5. [Bloomberg Law News] * Congress heard testimony about the phenomenon of scammers are using AI to fake kidnappings. While regulation is probably needed... doesn't this just make real kidnappings less likely? I mean, Nigerian princes don't even bother asking me to help them move their money anymore. [Courthouse News Service] * E. Jean Carroll granted leave to amend complaint to include all the new defamation committed after she won the first lawsuit. [Reuters] * Partner sues McDermott and a recruiter for failing to disclose conflicts the firm had with his book of business. Not sure why the recruiter would know if the firm intended to hide the ball on its own business, but hey. [Law360]
