Because Pubic Hair in Coke Is So Last Century
Sexual harassment comes in all shapes and sizes. From the Connecticut Employment Law Blog: I enjoy my work as an employment lawyer for the simple fact that each case is different and “you can’t make this stuff up.” An article in today’s The Advocate of Stamford, Connecticut, proves that theory correct. [It’s] about a female […] -

X-Summers: More on the O'Melveny Mystery Man

A Summer Associate Etiquette Manual: Special Katten Edition
Last week we told you about a fellow at Katten Muchin Rosenman in Chicago, who managed to achieve the impossible feat: he got fired from a summer associate gig.

Yesterday we wrote about a former summer associate in the Chicago office of Katten Muchin Rosenman.
