President Trump will name Judge Reinhardt’s replacement. Oh, and Judge Reinhardt died.

I'm not sure he will. There are 7 openings on the 9th Circuit, including 2 others in the LA area. He's only made 2 nominations in a year and a half. I've heard that getting judges through in California is particularly slow because Trump doesn't see the state as a priority and Kamala Harris is refusing to blue slip judges from the state, though both of those things are admittedly hearsay and might be totally wrong.

The Nuleaf case from yesterday was pretty interesting.

If it's a high level employee – or damages in excess of six figures – they should get counsel now, Paul Padda is excellent. Otherwise I always tell employees to go down to the NERC and fill out the Charge with a staff member, they don't need counsel until they get the right to sue letter. If they get counsel at the NERC stage an attorney will take 30 percent or more of whatever settlement they may be able to work out at the informal mediation.

@10:06: Mr. Wynn, I don't think this is the best place to be looking for new counsel.

What else you need to know about is the SBN email just received declaring, "We noticed you haven't taken the state bar's Demographics Survey!"
How 'nice' that the SBN deems it necessary to track down and bother non-participants. Are they keeping a list?
Talk about an overbearing and authoritarian Big Brother. Ever think the reason some of us choose not to take part in biased, often hidden agenda-driven bar surveys is our strenuous objection to being tools furthering more meddlesome mission creep; fee increases; and new burdens on our practices?

If it's for statistical purposes only, they can use sampling. If they want to collect Google and Facebook levels of personal information, screw them. They can pull up my bar application if necessary. They don't need my help for that.

As well as the fact that we are scared SHITLESS that you, SBN, are tracking our otherwise confidential answers and tying us to them.

Once again, listen carefully, read slowly if you have to: if all of you anonymous serfs don't put up a reform slate for the BOG you will continue to be beaten and served thin, watery gruel. I stopped feeling sorry for all the abuse you take from SBN about 10 years ago when I realized that lawyers, of all people, should be able to get their collective crap together.

Arise ye prisoners of annoyance!

If you wanted to participate, you needed to have notified the court by 3/26.

That is incorrect. Written comments were due by 3/26. Monday is a public hearing with public comment period. You simply sign the clipboard indicating that you wish to speak.

NewlyMinted: I stand corrected. Previous ADKTs in which I have participated have set a deadline for written comments but have opened the matter up to public comment.

Hardesty dummy? I could not get a stick inserted far enough where sun never shines to approximate a Hardesty dummy.
