Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 08.17.23
* Fifth Circuit judges anoint themselves pharmaceutical scientists to determine that the FDA probably didn’t understand mifepristone when its scientists exercised their statutory and regulatory authority. So now judges are historians, neurologists, and drug scientists. Yale and Harvard JDs really prepare you to be jackasses of all trades! [Reuters]
* Speaking of judges acting as neurologists, the Federal Circuit backtracked to avoid that charge and cited Judge Pauline Newman’s reticence to hand over medical records of a cardiac event as the key justification to ban her from the court. Which fails their own twisted rationale since a risk of heart attack has no bearing on a judge’s faculties. But in any event, they’re cardiologists now, too. [Law360]
* It took a matter of hours for Trump supporters to publicly circulate the names and addresses of Georgia grand jurors. [NBC]
* By nixing student loan forgiveness, the Supreme Court likely also jacked the market by robbing it of 401(k) investment. [Bloomberg Law News]
* Law firms are generally uninterested in a fully remote workforce — which is understandable in some practice areas. But somehow this is going to get conflated with hybrid work models and some dumb firm is going to think it has cover to fully end working from home — to the delight of the firms looking to poach. [American Lawyer]
* Fox News needs a new CLO after the last one presided over the company accumulating upwards of a billion in liability. Who would want this job? [Corporate Counsel]
* Freshfields managing partner races in FIA bronze level events in his spare time. [LegalCheek]
