Thinking Like A Lawyer is a podcast featuring Above the Law's Joe Patrice, Kathryn Rubino, and Chris Williams. Each episode, the hosts will take a topic experienced and enjoyed by regular people, and shine it through the prism of a legal framework. This will either reveal an awesome rainbow of thought, or a disorienting kaleidoscope of issues. Either way, it should be fun.

law firms exodus Trump pro bono payola litigation department Harvard Law Review White House partnership model non-equity tiers
Caving law firms experience exodus.

-----

Paul Weiss fancied itself clever when it offered Trump pro bono payola in exchange for dropping an illegal executive order. Instead itkeeps hemorrhaging senior lawyerswith more departing to join therecent rainmaker spinoffand associates reportedly high on the new firm's wish list. While litigators are largely driving defections from surrender firms, at what point does a hollowed out litigation department start to impact the firm as a whole? Harvard Law Review found itself harassed by the government and it looks like the reason might bea snitch burrowed into the White House. And the one-track partnership model took more hits withRopes & GrayandDebevoiseagreeing to add non-equity tiers.

cosmic sex fetish judicial nomination process Federalist Society Leonard Leo FBI priorities child predators terrorists
Quite the combination of words.

-----

Lawsuit against former Texas SG alleges bizarre cosmic sex fetish. The administration made two significant changes to the judicial nomination process, firing the ABA from its neutral evaluator role and kicking the Federalist Society to the curb. The latter move came with an epic rant declaring Leonard Leo a sleazebag. Broken clocks and all. And Kash Patel lays out the FBI's priorities and child predators and terrorists are now lower on the most wanted list than, "your neighbor who posted an 8647 joke."

Supreme Court Just Making It Up As It Goes Along

Supreme Court administrative state voting rights legal framework Lawless conservative grievance Fringe Theories bad vibes Elena Kagan birthright citizenship habeas corpus
From the administrative state to voting rights, they're just sort of winging it trying to reverse engineer results.

-----

As Supreme Court season hits fever pitch, we're joined by Professor Leah Litman, author of Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes, to discuss the nightmare we're facing. Elena Kagan took the opportunity to humiliate her colleagues last week calling out an arbitrary carve out created to protect their investments. Kagan's frustration seems to be growing down the stretch, having just eviscerated the government in the birthright citizenship case. Meanwhile, Kristi Noem failed introductory constitutional law in front of the Senate, flailing as she tried to define habeas corpus.

Are Those Seashells In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Threatening An Assassination?

Seashellgate Surrendergate Biglaw Trump administration young lawyers James Comey Instagram subliminal assassination threat John Wilkes Squarepants federal law enforcement Am Law 100 financial facts
Seashellgate meets Surrendergate.

-----

Since we're cursed to act as keepers of the flame to remind the legal community that several large law firms really did willingly sell out to the Trump administration, this week we discuss our columnist Vivia Chen's exploration of the unique impact of these moves on young lawyers learning early that Biglaw is more than happy to throw them under the bus.

We also discuss how James Comey's Instagram pic triggered a tragicomic meltdown of some of the most deranged people on the internet ranting about seashells as a subliminal assassination threat worthy of John Wilkes Squarepants. Unfortunately, some of those internet denizens are also running federal law enforcement. And we conduct a lightning round of quirky Am Law 100 financial facts that will make you appreciate that you took some time off last year.

Bold Strategy Biglaw, Let's See If It Pays Off

Keywords
Biglaw Trump 60 Minutes Justice David Souter federal judiciary political patrons merger $2B firm
What if we just act like nothing happened?

-----

Biglaw firms who gave in to Trump suffered a scathing 60 Minutes piece and key talent defections, so they've decided upon a new tactic: pretending they never made a deal at all! It does not appear to be working. Meanwhile, Justice David Souter died reminding everyone of an era when the federal judiciary cared more about the right answer than appeasing political patrons. Unfortunately, Souter's nomination inadvertently triggered that change. And we have a Biglaw merging in the offing that hopes to create a new $2B firm.
