Teachers

Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 02.04.22

* Not on my watch! Montana judge rules that last minute changes to a law were unconstitutional. [Billings Gazette] * Deal with it: Despite Republican frustrations, New Jersey’s Supreme Court finds no issue with their congressional map. [Politico] * Broken clocks need an attorney at least twice a day: Guy committing identify fraud is arrested because the dude he’s frauding also had a warrant. [Richmond Register] * Utah bill is set to give parents full reign over what teachers are able to teach children. Helicopter mommy and daddy better be chipping in on school supplies too! [Salt Lake Tribune] * A bill just got introduced in Oklahoma that would let you sue teachers for $10k if they teach something against your religion. The biggest display of faith here is the thought that teachers could make good on that judgment. [Independent]

* On the importance of having your criminal clients dressed for court, not for jail. [Katz Justice] * An eight-justice Supreme Court has inspired some fanfic! No, there aren't any group sex scenes, it isn't that kind of fanfic. [Medium] * A group of law professors have now joined Massholes in supporting Tom Brady's Hail Mary for a Second Circuit rehearing. [Profootball Talk] * We need to protect the free speech rights of teachers too. [Bloomberg View] * A Trump presidency will threaten the rule of law, at least according to a bunch of libertarian legal scholars. [New York Times] * Florida banned Medicaid patients from using Planned Parenthood, and now PP is fighting back in court. [Slate] * There seems to be more legal bad news for Uber. [Law and More] * Ammon and Ryan Bundy still don't think the rules apply to them, even when they are in jail. [Huffington Post]

2nd Circuit

Non-Sequiturs: 01.30.13

* Congress isn’t standing up to the Supreme Court as much as it used to. [SCOTUSblog] * The Second Circuit really wants you to use a current email address. [Find Law] * A bar exam for teachers? Why would we create a system that would make BAR/BRI more money? [Constitutional Daily] * I kind of wish that everybody who offers an opinion on gun safety laws was required to have a law degree just so they could understand what’s actually being proposed. [Media Matters] * Not that getting a bunch of constitutional lawyers together is a recipe for compromise on the Second Amendment. I just want people to know what’s being talked about. [Huffington Post] * Stupid law firm slogan time! [Legal Cheek] * Henry Blodget defends internet trolls everywhere. [The Awl]

Antonin Scalia

Non-Sequiturs: 11.14.12

* George Washington University has been stripped of its U.S. News college ranking. The law school appears safe. [Tax Prof Blog] * Now students can get in trouble for bullying their teachers. Teachers, people! TEACHERS CAN’T STAND UP TO THE MEAN SCHOOL KIDS WITHOUT A LAWSUIT. [The Volokh Conspiracy] * Just to be clear, Antonin Scalia would not be on the side of the secessionists. [New York Personal Injury Law Blog] * So the accuser of Kevin Clash, voice of Elmo, recanted and said that he was a consenting adult when he was with Clash. It’s great to know that Elmo is getting barely legal ass. [Huffington Post] * FCPA! Guidance! This is WAY MORE INTERESTING than Petraeus and the Kelley sisters. [WSJ Law Blog] * For those of you who saw Capturing the Friedmans, here’s an update on the ongoing proceedings. [WiseLawNY]

Bankruptcy

Morning Docket: 10.12.12

* “Enough is enough.” Come on, Togut, did you really think all of the Dewey drama was going to end just because the judge approved your settlement plan? Now he’s trying to get the former partners committee disbanded. This won’t end well. [Am Law Daily] * Covington & Burling was disqualified from representing Minnesota in its anti-pollution case against ex-client 3M over a conflict of interest. A “conscious disregard” of professional duties? This is 1L stuff, really. [Twin Cities Pioneer Press] * Remember J. Michael Johnson, the former dean of Louisiana College Law who resigned for a “great job offer” before the school even opened? He’s now senior counsel for the ultraconservative Liberty Institute. [Alexandria Town Talk] * “If you’ve been hit by a table, ladder, or chair, call David Otunga.” What has this Harvard Law grad turned WWE wrestler up to these days, aside from filming commercials at criminal defense firms? [City Sentinel] * “The argument is absolutely absurd.” An ex-high school coach accused of having sex with a student wants Oklahomas’s ban on student-teacher relationships overturned as unconstitutional. [Alva Review-Courier]
