Morning Docket: 03.08.19
* Paul Manafort got 4 years out of a possible 24. A lot of breathless ranting will come out of this but the reality is 4 years is a significant amount of time to be incarcerated and the guidelines are crazy. Don't be mad that Manafort got too little, be mad that the system generally (and Judge Ellis in particular) unquestioningly applies the guidelines to give far too much to poor and minority defendants. [CNN] * Frankly, the charges that should earn Manafort heavy jail time are the charges of lying to the Mueller probe because that's where there's a significant interest in setting punitive disincentives. And Judge Jackson may have a very different view on how "otherwise blameless" Manafort's been. [Daily Beast] * While we're on these never-ending Trump orbit stories, Michael Cohen is suing Trump for legal fees since, he points out, all his problems stem from work he did in the official course of his duties. [New York Law Journal] * Wearing a disguise to court is totally normal lawyer behavior. [New York Times] * Orrick joins the $1B revenue club. [The Recorder] * Remember the drunken airline rant lady? She's facing jail time. [Legal Cheek] * George Mason receives largest gift in school history, but it'll never match the gift they gave prospective students the ATL community when they descriptively renamed their law school ASS Law.
