Is this an acceptable request?
There is so much one can learn about academia from watching the subtle (and not-so subtle) sexism in this movie.
Ugh. Have you ever experienced anything like this?
These stories are awful.
This is disgusting.

* "When the founders wrote the Declaration of Independence, they invoked our creator four times, because in America we don't worship government we worship God." Guess who was awarded an honorary law degree this weekend? It was none other that President Donald Trump, who delivered the commencement address at Liberty University on Saturday morning. [The Hill; TIME] * The Pink Ghetto (Partner Edition)? A Proskauer Rose partner has filed a $50M gender bias suit against the firm, claiming she was not only paid less than male colleagues, but that she was "overtly objectified based on her sex" when a fellow partner allegedly "made inappropriate comments regarding her appearance, body, clothing, or 'sexiness'" on numerous occasions. [Am Law Daily] * Tarra Simmons has quite the résumé: she's a convicted felon and former drug addict who also happens to be the recipient of a prized Skadden fellowship. Unfortunately, she may not be able to practice law thanks to a recommendation from the Washington State Bar Association’s Character and Fitness Board that she be denied bar admission. She plans to appeal. [Northwest Public Radio] * Walter "Chet" Little, a former Foley & Lardner partner, has been arrested on insider trading charges that stem from his time at the firm. Soon after finding out about the nature of the charges, Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, his current firm, politely showed him the door. If convicted, Little will likely face quite the lengthy prison term and a fine of up to $5 million. Ouch. [WSJ Law Blog] * "There was never a question of whether I was going to go to law school or not. It was just when I was going to go...." Chris Carr, a former cornerback for the Baltimore Ravens, is set to graduate from GW Law School this weekend. He'll be taking the California bar exam this summer, but he recently accepted a job offer at an immigration law firm in Virginia. Congratulations! [Washington Post]
