Legal News Roundup - 8/3/18
Had a busy week? Here are some of the top legal news stories you may have missed.
1) “New York law didn't prevent lawyer Michael Cohen from recording a September 2016 discussion with his client, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. But did Cohen violate ethics requirements when he recorded the discussion about a hush-money payment?” See here why the ABA Journal’s opinion authors are split on whether Cohen’s secret taping was an ethics violation: http://ow.ly/j0qm30ldKCi
2) “For the last half decade, 3-D printed pistols and metal-milled "ghost guns" have only rarely caught the attention of lawmakers, and have barely registered in the mainstream of America's gun control debate. But now, a controversial legal settlement may have unlocked a new era of digitally fabricated, DIY guns.” Wired has more details on a last-ditch legal fight to stop 3-D printed guns here: http://ow.ly/cb0e30ldK32
3) “The N.B.A. announced Tuesday that MGM Resorts International would be the league’s official gambling partner, the first partnership of its kind with a major sports league in the United States.” See more on this announcement from The New York Times: http://ow.ly/UYUY30ldLC5
4) “Collusion is not a crime, but colluding can be. In the colloquial sense, collusion simply means an act of secret cooperation, generally for nefarious ends. There’s no law you can violate that constitutes collusion in the third degree — but working with someone in a conspiracy to break the law is illegal.” Check out an analysis piece from The Washington Post regarding President Donald Trump’s recent statements on collusion here: http://ow.ly/mMLw30ldL8e
5) “Working Mother released its annual list of the 60 Best Law Firms for Women (that’s 10 more law firms than last year’s list). These law firms are considered pioneers in the field when it comes to attracting, retaining, and promoting women lawyers.” See more on this list from Above The Law here: http://ow.ly/fEkA30ldKkw
