this

Paul
Weiss
Technically
Isn’t
Having
Layoffs,
It’s
Just
That
Associates
Are
Leaving
Very
Quickly
And
Not
By
Choice:
The
firm
keeps
losing
litigation
leadership
and
now
its
“performance”
reviews
have
forced
out
a
suspicious
number
of
litigation
associates.
A
Newly
Combined
Firm
Has
Also
Embarked
On
Layoffs:
A
newly
merged
top-20
Biglaw
firm
is
working
through
growing
pains
that
include
layoffs,
which
is
what
“synergies”
always
meant
in
the
fine
print
if
anyone
had
bothered
to
read
past
the
press
release.
In
Alito’s
Defense,
The
Made-Up
Facts
He
Cited
Would
Have
Been
Convincing:
The
Supreme
Court
inserted
fabricated
factual
claims
into
its
opinion
functionally
striking
down
the
Voting
Rights
Act.
But,
Remember,
Stop
Talking
About
The
Emperor’s
Lack
Of
Clothes:
Chief
Justice
Roberts
is
disappointed
that
everyone
seems
to
think
the
Court
is
political
just
because
they
decided
to
rewrite
election
law.
Virginia
Supreme
Court
Rules
‘Sure,
The
Text
SAYS
This
Is
Legal
But
What
This
Opinion
Presupposes
Is…
What
If
It
Didn’t?’:
After
Virginia
voters
approved
congressional
redistricting,
the
majority
of
the
state
supreme
court
spent
30
pages
redefining
one
sentence.
Republicans
Seem
To
Get
Carded
A
Lot:
Todd
Blanche
thinks
you
need
ID
to
go
to
a
restaurant
(this
guy
must
really
want
to
start
eating
at
a
private
club).
