Ep. 41: What Does ‘Partner’ Even Mean?

Law firms are full of people with the title “partner,” but what exactly does that mean? After years of change, the title ain’t always what it used to be. Senior reporter Andrew Strickler comes on the show this week to talk about “partners,” particularly as it relates to the wave of gender bias suits filed against BigLaw firms. Also this week, we discuss a big ruling on the destruction of New York City graffiti space “5Pointz”; a new lawsuit claiming bar prep giant Barbri colluded with top law schools to crush competitors; and Taylor Swift’s efforts to shake off a lawsuit alleging she stole lyrics for some of her songs.
