Happy Presidents Day. Welcome to the first edition of my yet-to-be-named weekly column—see below—where I will empty my notebook and share all the legal news that I’ve been paying attention to at the intersection of Hollywood, Washington, Silicon Valley and Wall Street. The law, lawyers, and litigation, after all, are the true operating code for these centers of power. I’ll endeavor to share an insiders’ view of what’s happening in the courts, regulatory agencies, and backrooms where policy is crafted, payouts are made, and winners and losers are decided. I’ll also highlight overlooked filings, gesture toward significant calendar events, and provide updates on big cases that will impact industry, finance, and politics.
