Morning Docket: 04.18.23
* At Paul Hastings the client is always right and they'll move mountains for them... potentially including pushing past conflicts. [Corporate Counsel] * Could the reports of its death be greatly exaggerated? Shearman posts tidy Q1 M&A haul. [Bloomberg Law News] * Shaq served in FTX suit after initially avoiding process servers. How did they miss him? [Cleveland.com] * If Dominion and Fox delayed the trial to talk settlement, that seems to have fizzled with jury selection on deck this morning. Perhaps there's still more public embarrassment to dole out after all. [Reuters] * In light of the horrific Yarl shooting, the local paper tries to explain that the law doesn't allow people to just try to murder anyone who comes to the door. Which is true, but highlights the problem with these broad self-defense laws... they make ginned up gun nuts think they can and you can't really put the toothpaste back in the tube when they act on that misinterpretation. [Kansas City Star] * Second time's the charm: new NY Chief Judge pick rolling through the process. [NY Times] * EY to cut 3000 jobs after spinoff failed. [Law360]
