LeGal

“Okay everyone, smile and say “De-Equitized!” Lavi Soloway didn’t caption the photographs he took at last night’s LeGal dinner. So we decided to help him out. More photos, after the jump.

More fine blogging from Lavi Soloway — although his latest material is related only indirectly to Aaron Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell. Remember LeGal, the gay and lesbian lawyers’ association that got itself into a bit of controversy after its (now former) president, Jack Scheich, came out swinging in favor of S&C? Well, last night […]

If you’re trying to schedule a fundraising benefit and want gay lawyers to attend. Tout le gay legal monde already has plans for that evening: Some observations: 1. This benefit dinner invitation has to be one of the ugliest-ass invites we have ever seen (and we’ve seen many). LeGal is an organization of gay lawyers. […]

We wrote a fair amount over the weekend about Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell. Scroll down the page to see our coverage, or click here and here. One of our posts concerned an interesting letter that a gay NYU Law graduate wrote to John Scheich, first vice-president of the Lesbian and Gay Law Association of […]

Back in this post, we quoted this passage from an ABC News piece: “Sullivan Cromwell is far from prejudiced in any way,” says John Scheich, the first vice president of the Lesbian and Gay Law Association of New York [LeGal], adding that the firm often buys a table at his group’s annual fundraising dinner dance.

This morning brings some fresh news coverage of Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell. ABC News, for example, has this story. Most of the piece consists of background info, which ATL readers are already familiar with. But there is some new material concerning S&C and gay attorneys in general: [T]he firm has a good reputation among […]
