Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 01.20.23
* All right everyone. Let’s use our Dr. Evil voices: frivolous lawsuit earns Donald Trump sanction of… one MILLION dollars! Or $937K at least. [NY Times]
* If he’s interested in pushing his luck, his lawsuit against his niece is still going. [Courthouse News Service]
* South Texas Law Houston and Roger Williams Law have both withdrawn support for the USNWR rankings. Without that precious data, how will U.S. News know to keep placing them in the bottom tier? [Law.com]
* Musk likely to take the stand today in Tesla trial. Facing questions from people he can’t suspend? It’s a whole new world out there. [Reuters]
* The trifecta of going hardcore anti-reproductive freedom AND trafficking in rape apologist tropes (women’s testimony means “unsupported”) AND demanding the Court’s 1A & 2A rules be suspended solely for right-wing justices in the same column? Chef’s kiss. [Washington Post]
* And Orrick will merge with Buckley. [Bloomberg]

Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 01.19.23
* With productivity in decline, are we set to see a boom in alternative fee arrangements. No… but isn’t it pretty to think so? [American Lawyer]
* Alex Spiro is arguing that Elon Musk’s false tweets were just “technical wordsmith inaccuracies.” Not sure how it’s a technicality to say “funding secured” when funding had not, in fact, been secured, but kudos for trying. [Ars Technica]
* Rupert Murdoch faces questions in the ongoing Dominion defamation case where he’ll testify like Mr. Burns negotiating with kidnappers, “$5000? $6000? I swear, that’s all I’ve got.” [Reuters]
* After forcing Hector LaSalle to suffer the foregone indignity of getting rejected by the committee, Kathy Hochul has at least taken a tentative step back from her threat to sue fellow Democrats on “because you made me sad” grounds. [Bloomberg]
* Flo Rida wins $82 million in dispute with energy drink company. Much like the club, the company’s lawyers couldn’t handle him. [Billboard]
