The DOJ’s Slush Fund Fallout — See Generally

Ain’t No Government Service Like Self-Service: The Senate-confirmed DOJ official tasked with selling the slush fund to Congress, quietly tried to recuse himself from that work so he could file his own personal claim against the fund.

Bar Tab Comes Due: Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward, who signed off on the slush fund that would have paid out his own former clients, now faces a D.C. bar complaint.

All The News That’s Glaringly Obvious: The New York Times editorial board laid out four reasons Todd Blanche shouldn’t be confirmed as Attorney General.

Tarp Of The Morning: A D.C. Circuit panel denied the stay, the scaffolding went back up, and Trump’s name came off the Kennedy Center under cover of 1:30 a.m. tarps unfurled in front of a cheering crowd.

Not It: The Supreme Court declined to review the due process questions surrounding 98-year-old Judge Pauline Newman, suspended by her own colleagues without the impeachment process the Constitution requires.

Stacking The Deck: A new study of 146 federal judges finds that clerkship “stacking” has turned a one-year launchpad into a multi-year credential arms race that the judges fueling it freely admit is broken.

Gone Phishin’: Lewis Brisbois ordered its remote staff back to the office after a cyberattack.

He Said, She Said: Running the same Biglaw resume through Gemini under a man’s name and a woman’s name turned identical experience into “extensive” for Thomas and a downgrade for Vivian, who also somehow saw her $700 million deal shrink to $700.

American Juris Society^TM

American Juris Society Members have been selected based upon a review and vetting process by our Selection Committee. The platform generates a numerical score of 1 to 12 for each of the 12 enumerated factors which are meant to recognize the applicant’s achievements and peer recognition. All applicants must be licensed to practice law. Members are then subject to a final review for ethical violations within the past ten years before confirmation of Membership. An American Juris Society Nomination does not guarantee membership and attorneys may not pay a fee to be nominated. Attorneys may nominate to the American Juris Society their peers whom they feel warrant consideration. The determination of whether an attorney qualifies for Membership is based upon the aforementioned proprietary analysis discussed above.
