Objection, your honor! Male attorneys don't have to show up as calculating, cold-hearted combatants at all times. In fact, over the past few months, I've witnessed men in the law demonstrating vulnerability, compassion and a collaborative spirit. And I've heard these men talk about how revisiting their assumptions about manhood has made them happier and more effective attorneys. It's been my honor to work with these male lawyers in a program designed to reinvent masculinity in the law for improved individual lives and more inclusive organizations. Hear some of these courageous fellas speak about their experiences at a webinar Tuesday, April 23, from 2-4 ET. You'll hear from: Matt Kline, Geoff Kuziemko, Ethan Scapellati, Enoch Ajayi, Bruce Byrd, Jeremiah Chan, Bob Glaves and Daniel L. (DL) Morriss. The event is hosted by the Institute for Inclusion in the Legal Profession | IILP, and also features my partners in the program: Sandra Yamate, Ellen Ostrow and Jonathan Kanter. After hearing the discussion, you can judge for yourself. Isn't it time to update our views about how men can show up in the law? Register here: https://lnkd.in/gFkub_KU #reinventmasculinity

It’s important to remain motivated and inspired particularly for young and aspiring lawyers. #lawyerlife #legaleducation #legalprofession https://lnkd.in/dPsw5uyP

Coming soon! We examine the works of Lauren Edelman who explored organizations and their responses to new laws that impact their relationships with employees. Using civil rights laws as an illustration, she shows how ambiguities in the law and unclear enforcement mechanisms contribute to organizations having to define and measure compliance themselves, leading to outcomes that may deviate from the law’s intentions. (On a solemn note -- today marks the 1st anniversary of Lauren's passing. This episode will be presented in her memory and in honor of her important and valuable contributions to organization studies) #taop #lawandorganization

#Breakingnews #IRNewswires #ScamAlert: Perjury for a Price: The Judicial Charade of Jeremy Jones and Alexander Southwell. #MeredithKammler Jan. 22, 2024 #NewYork--In the hallowed halls of justice, a farcical play unfolds where truth is not the star, but a mere understudy to deception. Jeremy Jones, a name now synonymous with judicial mockery, entered into a devil's bargain, wielding perjury as his coin of the realm. This was no mere slip of the tongue but a calculated 5K1.1 contract to dress lies in the robes of truth, all for a discount on his sentence. The promise of leniency turned the courtroom into a marketplace, where sentences are slashed in exchange for fabricated testimonies. Here, the scales of justice are tipped not by the weight of evidence, but by the lure of freedom. The USSG 5K1.1 contract, designed to reward cooperation, has instead become a tool for manipulation, inviting the corruptible to play the system as one plays the slots—a gamble where the house, and the truth, always loses. As the gavel falls, one wonders if it marks the end of the trial or the death knell of integrity. This blog post is not just a recount of events; it is a wake-up call to a system that has dozed off, allowing the serpent of falsehood to coil around the pillars of justice. We must ask ourselves, is this the legal legacy we wish to leave behind? Where the sworn oath becomes a mere formality, and the courtroom, a stage for the greatest farce ever played. #law #litigation #legal #news #attorney #money #realestate #lawfirm Kenneth Florin Alan Cutler Neal Katyal Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP #AlexanderSouthwell #StevenDFeldman #SarahEPaul Won Shin #KatherinePolkFailla #NicholasGoldin #money #legalprofession #news #media #corruption #management #futurism #business #linkedin The Wall Street Journal The New York Times #realestate Bloomberg LP VICE Media USA TODAY Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP Sally Yates #law #legal #college #privacy #investmentbanking #investment #invest MSNBC POLITICO ProPublica #banking #fraud #lawyer #lawyers #stock #IPO #bitcoin #hedgefund #loansharking #future #london #uk #Asia #Japan #corruption #lawenforcement #wallstreet #venturecapital #privateequity #stocks #investment #media #news #smallbusiness #civil #nonprofit #finance #justice #innovation #criticalracetheory The Wall Street Journal Bloomberg Law #scamAlert #blacklivesmatter #politics #leadership #people #power #network #culture #strategy #AI #computer Gibson Dunn Elie Honig Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Affiliates Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP Baker McKenzie #media #entertainment #sports #golf CNBC ProPublica Breon Peace Harvard University Yale Law School Columbia Law School Harry Litman O'Melveny & Myers LLP Latham & Watkins Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP #education #corporatelaw CNN Business Bloomberg Law Sullivan & Cromwell LLP
