Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 10.24.19

* Rudy Giuliani is reportedly looking for another defense lawyer.  Guess he listened to the old adage about he who represents himself... [CNN] * Rose McGowan is suing the lawyers Harvey Weinstein enlisted to discredit her, including David Boies.  I'm sure the defendants know a few good attorneys to represent them. [New York Times] * The D.C. Bar just released an ethics opinion on what managers and employees should do if they think a lawyer is impaired. Based on some of the stories on this website, such guidance is sorely needed. [American Lawyer] * A Clarence Thomas documentary is set to be released in 2020.  Guess Justice Thomas wanted his own RBG. [Time] * A lawyer who is suing her former employer must pay the legal fees of her former law firm because she failed to produce critical evidence for 17 months. [New Jersey Law Journal] * A man caught on video punching his own lawyer in court was acquitted of the assault, since the injuries were deemed not serious.  Apparently being injured with a concussion and a broken nose from an assault by a client is just a job hazard for lawyers.
