Judicial Notice (05.21.22): 2400 Hours

What a Biglaw firm expects from its partners, a female judge who almost never hires women as clerks, and other legal news from the week that was.

We’re now in late May—even if it feels like July, at least here in the northeast—and we all know what that means: the beginning of the end of the Supreme Court Term, when SCOTUS issues its most important and controversial decisions. The Court will be handing down some rulings tomorrow morning, so tune into SCOTUSblog at 10 a.m. to see what the justices have for us.

Fittingly enough, given the focus on SCOTUS, I participated in two Twitter Spaces about the Court, concerning the leak of the Dobbs draft opinion and its aftermath. On Wednesday, I joined Michael Dorf, Dahlia Lithwick, Kate Shaw, and Mary Ziegler for a panel moderated by Neysun Mahboubi and hosted by Law and Governance. On Friday, I joined Kimberly Robinson and Greg Stohr for a #CourtChatter conversation hosted by Bloomberg Law.

Now, on to the news.
