getmischToday the American Lawyer's A-List has included the firm where I work among their top 20 firms, again. Apparently this is our 10th consecutive year appearing on the list, our 2nd year in spot number 3, and our 7th inclusion in the top 5 since 2017.

Ensuring at least for a generation or two, citizens on “both sides” will view all rulings as tied to nothing but the passing whims of the court’s current political appointees ⚖️
