88% (!) of major U.S law firm partners are white and nearly 75% are men. And more than 50% of firms report having *zero* Black partners. These numbers are even worse when you look at equity partners.
This action by the EEOC is nothing short of disgusting.

(To be clear, I support the Mansfield rule, as weak as it is)
And the attack is on all of the firms trying to do better.
Absolutely disgusting is right.
EEOC has established an email where whistleblowers can submit information to the EEOC about potentially unlawful DEI practices at law firms: [email protected]
B - let me guess: all firms have represented cases against Trump!?
But I’m not sure it’s possible for many of these law firms to be more white-male.
My 10-year law school graduation is in two months, and sadly little has changed.
If y'all remember your legal history, you may recall which odious SCOTUS justice who ran the Commission for close to a decade was nominated for an opening: Clarence Thomas. Irony out the wazoo noted.
Their relative lack of progress into the upper echelons of the legal should tell you all you need to know about the field's still-entrenched "good ol' boys network."
As per always, Trump's solely making it worse.
I'm not sure how much I was joking anymore.

As you see fit 😉
Danke dafür!

A separate comment of theirs:
The person has too few billable hours and probably for good reason. Don’t count on unhinged people to even fill out blanks on a DMV form, let alone do any complex transaction or litigation.
However, such person would probably be next in line for EEOC GC.
-farming "influencers," LinkedIn has become insufferable.
Lol. Lmao. Lmfao.
