Law School Turns Library Back Office Into Doc-Review Dungeon
Which law school is turning part of its library into a "legal delivery center"?
Morning Docket: 01.13.15
* With fewer and fewer students applying to law school, acceptance rates have skyrocketed. Some, like GW Law, have even been accused of "laundering [their] credentials" by padding their enrollment numbers with transfers. [GW Hatchet] * "People don't graduate from law school understanding the business of law." That's just one of the reasons recent grads are having such a tough time getting jobs as associates. Suffolk Law thinks it can help change that. [Boston Business Journal] * "This is an example of the system working as intended": Hundreds of thousands of dollars are due to successful plaintiffs in same-sex marriage cases, and millions of dollars in attorneys' fees for that work is racking up interest. [National Law Journal] * James Risen, the New York Times reporter who refused to out his source as part of a CIA investigation, has won the right to keep his journalistic integrity intact after a long legal battle. Prosecutors have officially dropped him as a witness. [Bloomberg] * After much talk about partners heading for the exits before, during, and after the Patton Boggs and Squire Sanders merger, and Bob Luskin has finally left the building for Paul Hastings. We hope his parting wasn't "painful" for him. [WSJ Law Blog]
