* The full Am Law 200 rankings are available. Let’s just put a link here for handy reference. [American Lawyer]

* Trump’s criminal trial set for March 25, 2024. So basically after he’s locked up the nomination. [Law360]
* Speaking of Trump, his lawyers are seeking an audience with Merrick Garland complaining about the “ongoing injustice” of being investigated for that documents crime that the DOJ already gave Trump months to fix before his lawyers lied about it. Not predicting a fruitful meeting for the crew. [Reuters]
* The new British Invasion is less entertaining than the Beatles, but then again the Beatles never drafted an executive compensation clause. [Bloomberg Law News]
* New lawsuit contends that Biden must use the Fourteenth Amendment to avoid a government default. Meanwhile, the Biden administration continues efforts to protect the global economy by throwing pennies in a wishing well. [Politico]

Morning Docket
Morning Docket: 02.28.23
* When the Trump administration used COVID as a rationale to unilaterally rewrite immigration laws, the Supreme Court thought that was fine. Today, the same justices will scream bloody murder at the idea of the Biden administration using the COVID economic slump to justify forgiving $20K worth of student loans the same way the government forgave millions in PPP loans. Because… reasons. [Reuters]
* Law firms get conservative on legal technology amid recession fears. I guess this means they aren’t trying to bring in tech to reduce attorney ranks. [Legaltech News]

* Merrick Garland’s appearance on Capitol Hill tomorrow will very much suck for him. [Esquire]
* The ongoing Neil Gerrard scandal will go to court next week to find out just how much Dechert owes one of its former clients. [Bloomberg Law News]
* Florida court denies the habeas petition a pregnant detainee filed on behalf of her fetus. As always “Life Begins At Conception… Some Terms and Conditions Apply.” [The Guardian]
