Mary Jo Whitewash indeed.

Urban Meyer may have gotten a proverbial slap on the wrist for keeping a know domestic abuser on the payroll, but that doesn’t mean we have to like it. Indeed, it’s infuriating when a respected white shoe law firm — Debevoise & Plimpton — gives Ohio State the all clear to prioritize winning football games over the safety and well-being of women. Debevoise partner and former SEC chair, Mary Jo Whitewash — erm White — is getting a reputation for giving institutions the all clear when dealing with sexual harassment and assault.

On the most recent episode of The Jabot podcast, Joe Patrice and I discuss what the hell is going on at THE Ohio State University and what that means for all of college football.

The podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Let’s be real — it can suck out there. So we want to create a space where our community can come together share stories, find support and devise strategies.

Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wears when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that — even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Happy listening!
