* Having placed Justice Anthony Kennedy's Supreme Court retirement in political context, let's now put it into historical context. [Retropolis / Washington Post] * This makes some folks quite upset, but there's no denying it: the Roberts Court is now truly the Roberts Court (and he probably isn't thrilled about it either).

Congrats, Katie! [Axios] * Let's not forget about President Trump's transformation of the lower federal courts -- because it's not just about SCOTUS. [The Takeaway / WNYC] * Check out Susman Godfrey's new mandatory retirement policy -- could this become the industry standard? [Texas Lawyer] * Yes, the First Amendment is awesome and all -- but is it also encouraging errors in news reporting, as Charles Glasser suggests?

[Althouse] * This should come as no surprise, but now law firms are joining the chase after data scientists. [Artificial Lawyer] * Congratulations to the Practising Law Institute (PLI) and Fastcase, innovators in their respective spaces, on their new alliance. [Dewey B Strategic]
