"The DOJ's Insider Trading Case Is Basically A Vault 100 Firm Directory: Sidley, Latham, Goodwin, Weil, DLA Piper, Willkie, Wachtell - this indictment would be for an impressive on-campus interview schedule."
"Paul Weiss Technically Isn't Having Layoffs, It's Just That Associates Are Leaving Very Quickly And Not By Choice: The firm keeps losing litigation leadership and now its "performance" reviews have forced out a suspicious number of litigation associates."
"In Alito's Defense, The Made-Up Facts He Cited Would Have Been Convincing: The Supreme Court inserted fabricated factual claims into its opinion functionally striking down the Voting Rights Act."
"Virginia Supreme Court Rules 'Sure, The Text SAYS This Is Legal But What This Opinion Presupposes Is... What If It Didn't?': After Virginia voters approved congressional redistricting, the majority of the state supreme court spent 30 pages redefining one sentence."
The material covers several legal-industry and court-related developments. A DOJ insider trading case is characterized as involving major law firms, implying a broad network of representation. Multiple large law firms are described as experiencing rapid associate departures and layoffs, including effects from performance reviews and merger “synergies.” Supreme Court and state court actions are portrayed as altering election-related law through inserted or redefined factual claims. Additional items include commentary about voter ID requirements, a Virginia Supreme Court majority reinterpreting redistricting language, and Vault’s annual small and midsize firm rankings. A law student video contest is noted as producing more engaging content than recent DOJ filings.
