* Cozen O’Connor recently acquired the Miller Law Group, one of California’s largest woman-owned employment law firms, and the combination will help bolster the Biglaw firm’s headcount in its its San Francisco and Los Angeles offices. Congrats! [Big Law Business]
* In case you missed it, Cyntoia Brown, the woman who’d been serving a life sentence since she was 16 years old and got her sentence commuted after catching Kim Kardashian’s attention (and the attention of the reality star cum law student’s legal team), will be released next week. [Refinery29]
