* Michael Cohen is talking to John Dean because 2018 is the new 1973. [WTOP] * Shocking no one, John Dowd doesn't understand basic laws.

[Law360] * UNC students toppled a confederate statute because the school wasn't doing anything about it. [Huffington Post] * Will elite Biglaw firms suffer from mid-tier competition? Probably not, but maybe. [American Lawyer] * Microsoft identifies more Russian hacking efforts because Microsoft is our default government now. [Courthouse News Service] * Georgia is trying to kill kids. [AJC] * FIFA fired its lawyer so if you want a job facilitating international graft on an epic scale, here's your chance. [NY Times]
