Morning Update

A Message From the Editor

Good Morning. Latham & Watkins is considering a system of "super" points for partner pay. Also, we're looking at a report that ranks law firms by how much they benefit from giving advice on fossil fuel-related work. And we are covering a push by Mexico's outgoing President to replace the country’s federal judiciary -- a move that is causing concern among the legal sector and investors.
