* Michael Cohen's lawyers say just a little over 12K of their client's files are privileged. That's out of 4 million... and still seems high. [Law360] * If you thought the Westworld videogame felt suspiciously like Fallout Shelter, so did the makers of Fallout. [BBC] * Online retailers are confused in the post-Wayfair world. They've built algorithms that can guess what you want to purchase before you think of it, but they're totally baffled about tacking 6 percent on a sale heading to Kentucky. [Corporate Counsel] * Professor Tim Wu thinks yesterday's Amex decision has devastated antitrust law. There's no argument that this was the Court's intent, but it strikes me that the decision prevented the market from rapidly devolving into a Visa/MasterCard duopoly -- since they already have a near stranglehold on the market -- so it's hard to consider this anticompetitive in result even if it is in reasoning. [NY Times] * The economic dumpster fire that is Kansas will have to cough up more money to fund schools according to their Supreme Court, based on the state's constitutional obligation to equitably fund education. Don't worry, the Trump administration sees Kansas as a model for the country! [Courthouse News Service] * Age discrimination could blow up soon if the Seventh Circuit expands protection to job applicants. It's a pressing issue for an aging generation just now realizing that they've spent 30 years voting for the government to pilfer their retirement. [National Law Journal] * Lawyer indicted on charges of stealing $150K from clients. [NY Post]

* IBM says Watson's about to take away your job, which is an announcement IBM makes roughly every three months because they're taunting us. [Corporate Counsel] * Betty Shelby acquitted in the killing of a black motorist because apparently it's always reasonable to believe a random black guy is going to pull a gun. [NBC News] * Former client seeks $1.4 million back that it spent trying to disqualify BakerHostetler. [Law360] * Latham's Alice Fisher has pulled out of the FBI Director sweepstakes. All eyes are on Joe Lieberman right now, but folks G. Gordon Liddy is just sitting there raring to go. [National Law Journal] * And apparently Sheriff Clarke (who I'm sure was Trump's personal pick) is taking a Homeland Security job so he can focus on harassing the poor and disadvantaged without having to bother all those nice bankers. [New York Times] * Judge Charles Breyer took a break from writing the best benchslaps of all time to issue a groundbreaking video game ruling citing Star Wars and Love Actually -- two movies that should never, ever be mentioned in the same sentence. [Hollywood Reporter] * Stupid fan lawsuit against Warriors center ZaZa Pachulia moves on. [KENS5] * More horrific allegations from Ken Starr's world-class leadership at Baylor. [Huffington Post]
