Woof! A Historic Court Case That Went To The Dogs
One of the parties to this case was barking up the wrong tree.
Morning Docket: 01.02.18
* Matthew Riehl, the gunman in the Colorado shooting this weekend who killed a deputy sheriff and wounded four police officers and two civilians, was a former lawyer in Wyoming whose alma mater, Wyoming Law, warned students about his "suspicious behavior" in early November. [Denver Post; Laramie Live] * In his 2017 State of the Judiciary Report, Chief Justice John Roberts focused on court emergency preparedness, but included an addendum about sexual harassment within the judiciary, announcing that proper procedures must be in place to "ensure an exemplary workplace for every judge and every court employee." No mention of the recently retired Judge Alex Kozinski was made. [Washington Post] * Joel Sanders, the former CFO of failed firm Dewey & LeBoeuf who was convicted on securities fraud and conspiracy charges, has reached a settlement with the SEC, but the agency will move forward with proceedings against Stephen DiCarmine, the firm's ex-executive director. [New York Law Journal] * As usual, the new year brings with it a slew of new laws. In some states, voter ID laws will go into effect, while in others, police won't be able to arrest people for immigration enforcement purposes. Plus, pets will be treated more like children after divorces in at least one state. [CNN] * Speaking of new laws, marijuana is now fully legal in California, and if you're 21 or older, you can now purchase and possess up to an ounce for recreational use. This a "monumental moment" for the Golden State, but don't forget that the Feds still consider the drug to be an illegal Schedule I narcotic. [Los Angeles Times]
