Morning Docket
May 2023
* Allen & Overy finally finds its American match, announcing a deal with Shearman & Sterling. The new firm will be called "A&O Shearman"... for a couple of months before we just call it "Allen & Overy." [Law360]
* Biden seems unwilling to invoke the Fourteenth Amendment to avoid a government shutdown, though it's not clear why since there wouldn't be any injured plaintiff. [Reuters]
* Not that having a viable legal theory matters much to this Supreme Court. So why does the media bend over backward to frame opinions through a legal lens? In fairness, Above the Law more or less stopped trying to do that years ago. [Slate]
* A former Lewis Brisbois COO alleged financial shenanigans back in 2019. Not saying these rumors contributed to over 100 lawyers bailed, but they can't have helped. [American Lawyer]
* Meta, the artist formerly known as Facebook and likely subsequently to be known as Facebook, receives 1.3 billion Euro fine for GDPR data privacy violations. [The Verge]
* Ty Cobb thinks Trump will end up in jail over classified documents. So don't expect Cobb to be rejoining the legal team. [Newsweek]
* January 6 probe triggers secretive hearing involving WilmerHale -- likely over social media data. [Politico]
