DE Supreme Court just reversed rescission of Elon Musk's pay package at Tesla. courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Dow...
The Court of Chancery spends a lot of time deciding cases that involve multi-billion-dollar deals. Its equity jurisdiction means it also gets to decide things like who should keep Tucker the Goldendoodle (don't worry, he's not getting cut in half) courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Dow...

I would like to present this footnote from Magistrate Wright with no context. (Full opinion here: courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Dow...)
This makes sense as Delaware is notoriously a state that doesn't have any practicing lawyers and doesn't ever have lawyers from other states file briefs in any of its courts
Sen. COONS: Are you a member of the Delaware Bar? Trump nominee: Virginia and Maryland. Coons: Practiced law in Delaware? Nominee: I haven’t. Coons: Filed a brief in a Delaware court? Nominee: My practice has been as an academic and in Washington, DC.
My latest for Litigation Daily: some thoughts on how Texas and Delaware compare in the relationship between their business courts and legislatures.

I put together an update on what's been going on with the constitutional challenge to SB 21 since the Supreme Court agreed to consider it in June.
VC Will said during yesterday's hearing that she has concerns about civility within the Chancery bar: "Some of the very sad public food fighting that we've recently seen on social media, even among senior members of our bar, is starting to bleed into court filings." www.law.com/delbizcourt/...
I've gotta say, VC Cook really reeled me in with this opening line (from courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Dow...)
The Delaware Supreme Court has reversed the Columbia Pipeline case.
A website called delawarebusinesslitigation.com has popped up, set up like a law firm's website. Across most of it, "Delaware Business Litigation" is used as a firm name, but as far as I know, that's not the name of an actual Delaware law firm.

Also on the contact page is a map that shows 815 N. Jackson St. in Wilmington as the address for Delaware Business Litigation. 815 N. Jackson appears to be a multi-family home www.redfin.com/DE/Wilmingto...

Morris James has put out a statement saying it has no connection whatsoever to the website, and the firm is looking into it. www.morrisjames.com/p/102kcsn/no...
From yesterday: the Third Circuit mostly upheld confirmation of the Boy Scouts' Chapter 11 plan, but the decision includes some language requiring more explicit protections of insurers' rights post-Purdue Pharma www.law.com/delbizcourt/...

I trust this because nothing screams "I know about having friends" quite like quantifying the supply/demand of friendship as a commodity
Mark Zuckerberg says Meta's chatbots will supplement your real friends: "The average American has fewer than 3 friends ... but has demand for ... 15 friends" (h/t x.com/romanhelmetg...)
Every anecdote about the effects of DOGE cuts reminds me of that episode of 30 Rock where Matthew Broderick's character works in a government office that got boxes of pen caps but no pens
This is what happens when the richest man in the world uses cost-cutting as his excuse for dismantling govt. www.reuters.com/world/us/100...
