Ep. 41: What Does Partner Even Mean?
Law firms are full of people with the title \u201cpartner,\u201d but what exactly does that mean? After years of change, the title ain\u2019t always what it used to be. Senior reporter Andrew Strickler comes on the show this week to talk about \u201cpartners,\u201d 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 \u201c5Pointz\u201d; a new lawsuit claiming bar prep giant Barbri colluded with top law schools to crush competitors; and Taylor Swift\u2019s efforts to shake off a lawsuit alleging she stole lyrics for some of her songs.
