Ep. 11: Lateral Vetting Woes, Plus Monkeying Around With Copyrights

When you hire a lateral attorney do you always know what you are getting? Even background checks aren’t catching everything. Senior white collar reporter Jody Godoy comes on the show to walk us through some of the problems BigLaw is facing as it looks to vet new hires. Also on this week’s show, the hosts discuss a contentious trial where Quincy Jones says he’s been stiffed on $30 million in royalties from the Michael Jackson estate, a federal regulation that could lead to more class actions against banks, and some monkey business over a jungle selfie.
