When Yale suspended one of its high profile professors for two years citing a pattern of sexual harassment, one wondered if the penalty went far enough considering former students believed Rubenfeld's wife Amy Chua bore some responsibility for the events and remained on the faculty. Fast forward and now Chua is publicly battling with the administration after students told the school that Chua was breaching the alleged terms of the agreement she reached with them over Rubenfeld's suspension. We also talk about the Supreme Court's full embrace of theocracy in a shadow docket assault on decades of religious freedom jurisprudence and we talk about Jones Day's continuing Supreme Court clerkship hiring dominance.

Not since the NCAA tournament has Georgetown been so hyped and so disappointed. The GULC fell out of the vaunted "T14" in the US News Law School Rankings to be replaced by UCLA.

Joe and Kathryn also chat about vaccine appointments and the (potentially) coming work from home revolution. Special thanks to our sponsors, LexisNexis® InterAction®, Lexicon and Nota.

What does the Constitution really say about impeachment? It's not crystal clear, but what is obvious is that some people claiming to divine the "plain meaning" have already reversed themselves making you wonder just how "plain" these meanings can be. Meanwhile, the Biglaw revolving door or lack thereof continues to spin for former administration officials. Stepping away from the political scene, we have Biglaw partners attacking associates and a frank conversation about what it means to be an effective lawyer-manager.

Giuliani caught himself a billion dollar headache after telling anyone who would listen that Dominion was fixing the election (they weren't). Paul Davis is asking a court to junk the federal government and turn it over to the Hobbits (they won't). And Jeffrey Clark is accused to trying to convince Trump to pull a coup... now he's hoping Biglaw will take him back (they shouldn't).

Can the Senate try a former president on an impeachment charge? Must a fact witness recuse themselves from serving as an advocate in a trial? The answer to both of these questions is obviously, "yes" and yet the last week involved a number of right-wing outlets trying to muddy the waters up to and including Jonathan Turley demanding that everyone stop citing Jonathan Turley. Joe and Kathryn also discuss the Supreme Court's race to approve executions in Trump's waning days and the state of the legal industry entering 2021.

As the post-election drama gets even weirder, Biglaw partner Cleta Mitchell turned up on a call seeming to represent Donald Trump as he attempted to solicit election interference from Georgia officials. Joe and Kathryn revisit the difference between professional consequences and business consequences when it comes to lawyers and boggle over how a lawyer could let a call like this happen without confidentiality provisions. Also, Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz have elite law school educations and their classmates wish they'd act like it. Special thanks to our sponsors, Paper Software, LexisNexis® InterAction® and Lexicon.

Biglaw bonuses are dropping and seem to confirm that most of the Biglaw world will get last year's bonus check plus a little something extra to match the autumn COVID bonuses that a few heavy hitters previously announced. But where does that leave the industry going forward? Are we really going to see them backslide on compensation when there isn't (hopefully) a year-long pandemic? Meanwhile, after initial fears of mass deferrals, law school applications are way up -- which isn't necessarily a good sign. Finally, we talk about the Justice Department's latest effort to bring back firing squads and why everyone needs to get over their visceral revulsion and ask, "why does this bother me so much?"

As pressure mounts on Trump's election attorneys, Jones Day has doubled down on the sinking effort. While declaring that it is not representing Trump per se, the firm is behind the Pennsylvania "stop the count" effort and with advocacy groups urging corporations to pull business and reports emerge of internal strife, the firm seems willing to stay the course. It worked for the Titanic after all. Meanwhile, a family law attorney pursuing the case makes an interesting complaint about the size of Kirkland & Ellis. In more heroic news, a lawsuit takes aim at Confederate monuments and we talk about the state of annual bonuses. Special thanks to our sponsors, Paper Software, and LexisNexis® InterAction®.

Thanks to social media and the internet, it’s never been easier—or more affordable—for lawyers to advertise. On the other hand, having so many avenues available to lawyers makes it more difficult for anyone to stand out from the crowd. So when Waco, Texas, lawyers Will Hutson and Chris Harris got more than 500,000 views on YouTube for a clip showing them playing guitars and singing about the legal consequences of swallowing, destroying or concealing marijuana in front of police officers, it was almost like winning the lottery. In this new episode of the Legal Rebels Podcast, Hutson and Harris speak with ABA Journal Assistant Managing Editor Victor Li. Special thanks to our sponsor, Nexa.

Joe and Elie discuss the in-house world. Lawyers and law students often daydream about what they perceive as the cushy world of going in-house. But these lawyers face their own challenges. A recent comprehensive survey of corporate legal departments reveals confusion over privacy requirements and complaints over outside counsel costs.

Joe and Kathryn have a spontaneous chat about lawyers on television. From game shows to reality competitions, lawyers were all over the place last week. In a sense though, aren't these shows metaphors for the legal profession? No, they're probably not -- but that's not going to stop us from trying to explain how they might be.

How can access to justice technologies be developed through a game? In this episode of Digital Edge, hosts Sharon Nelson and Jim Calloway talk to David Colarusso about the Learned Hands project. Learned Hands is a game in which lawyers spot possible legal issues in real people's stories about their problems. This machine learning game identifies text classifiers for developing a new taxonomy that can be used to connect people with public legal help resources. Play the Learned Hands game at https://learnedhands.law.stanford.edu. David Colarusso is the Director of Suffolk University Law School's Legal Innovation and Technology Lab.

It’s one of the greatest honors a judge can receive during his career, to be named Tweeter Laureate. In this episode of the State Bar of Texas Podcast, host Rocky Dhir talks to Judge Don Willett about how he became the Tweeter Laureate of Texas and an example for other judges who want to use social media as a platform. He shares some tips for using social media and speaks to whether users are over-engaged. He also discusses the role judges should play in our judicial system and the importance of educating the masses about their government. Don Ray Willett is a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

A distinguished set of panelists discuss their views on the course of antitrust exemptions in sports as well as offer key insight into their careers as antitrust lawyers litigating sports cases.

Elie can't make it to today's podcast, so Joe goes on an extended rant about movies with legal mistakes in them that drive him crazy. If you've ever watched Jaws and thought the movie should have really followed a string of lawsuits to put Amity out of business, this is the episode for you.

On November 24th, 1971, an unidentified man hijacked a commercial airliner heading out of Portland International Airport in Portland, Oregon. According to reports, the man had checked in as "Dan Cooper" later referred to, by the press, as D.B. Cooper, and purchased a one way ticket to Seattle, Washington. After his list of demands had been met in Seattle, D.B. Cooper let the passengers go but kept the flight crew on board to make his way to Mexico. Somewhere between Washington and Reno, Nevada, Cooper parachuted out of the back of the Boeing 727, never to be seen again. The actual identity of D.B. Cooper has mystified the public for decades. To this day his remains have never been found. So who is D. B. Cooper? And will his true identity ever be revealed? Today on Lawyer 2 Lawyer, host Laurence Colletti, guest co-host Jared Correia, and special guest, attorney Mark Zaid, founding partner of Mark S. Zaid, PC., discuss the mystery behind D.B. Cooper. Mark speaks about representing the team of private investigators looking to unlock the mystery, and talk about how the notorious D.B. Cooper continues to be an intriguing figure to so many. Attorney Mark S. Zaid is founding partner of Mark S. Zaid, PC. Mark represents the 40 independent private investigators working on the D.B. Cooper case. Special thanks to our sponsors, Clio.
