Lawsuit alleging gender discrimination at Chadbourne gets past summary judgment POSTED JUN 14, 2017 03:05 PM CDT BY STEPHANIE FRANCIS WARD ... inShare5 A New York federal judge has denied Chadbourne & Parke’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed against them by three female partners, alleging pay discrimination, wrongful termination and retaliation based on gender. The law firm sought pre-discovery summary judgment, arguing that since plaintiffs Kerrie Campbell, Mary T. Yelenick and Jaroslawa Z. Johnson were partners, they could not be considered employees. Citing case law in his June 14 order (PDF), U.S. District Court Judge J. Paul Oetken wrote that summary judgment is not appropriate in the case prior to limited discovery considering that the plaintiffs allege they were never equity partners. Oetken, who sits in the Southern District of New York, also denied Chadbourne’s motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ class and collective action allegations, and Campbell’s motion to dismiss a counterclaim Chadbourne filed against her alleging that she breached her fiduciary duty by revealing confidential financial information and engaging in a nationwide smear campaign against the firm. Today’s ruling makes clear that law firms aren’t insulated from liability simply because their employees bear the title of ‘partner’ or have signed a ‘partnership agreement,’ David Sanford, the plaintiffs’ lawyer, told the ABA Journal in an email on Wednesday. A Chadbourne spokesperson told the ABA Journal it’s confident that after discovery, the court will find that the plaintiffs are not employees and their claims should be dismissed. The lawsuit was filed last August by Campbell, who was later joined by Yelenick and Johnson. Campbella former partner with Collier & Shannon and Manatt Phelps & Phillipsclaims that when she joined Chadbourne, she had the impression that there was only a one-tier partnership. Then she discovered that besides setting compensation, the five-member management committee could hire and promote partners without the general partnership’s knowledge. The lawsuit seeks $100 million in damages. I don’t for one second believe that I have ever been an equity partner. I am nothing more than an employee who was told what to do, Campbell, who handles disparagement cases for consumer safety product companies, told the ABA Journal in October. The management committee hides information from the general partnership, refuses to disclose financial decisions and all compensation decisions are made in secret. Chadbourne tells a different story. In its answer (PDF) to Campbell’s complaint, filed Nov. 3, it alleges that she didn’t generate the revenue she claims.

Oregon judge admits to mistakes, but not marrying same-sex couples isn't one of them POSTED JUN 16, 2017 02:56 PM CDT BY STEPHANIE FRANCIS WARD Shutterstock inShare32... An Oregon judge, who reportedly displayed a portrait of Adolf Hitler at his courthouse and twice provided a felon with a gun, directed his staff to lie about his availability to same-sex couples looking to marry, according to the state’s Commission on Judicial Fitness and Disability. Vance Day, a state circuit court judge, admits he’s made some mistakes, his attorney Janet Schroer told the Oregon Supreme Court on Wednesdaybut refusing to marry same-sex couples is not one of them, because her client opposes such unions based on his sincerely held religious beliefs, Oregon Live reports. In addition, the commission found that Day used his judicial business card to try and intimidate a referee at his son’s college soccer game. Day also was charged with two felony counts of a felon in possession of a firearm for allegedly aiding and abetting the crime, and two misdemeanor counts of official misconduct. The Oregon Supreme Court has not indicated when it will rule on Day, according to the article. Punishment could range from public reprimand to removal from the bench. The commission’s findings have him doing so many bad things that trying not to marry same-sex couples should be the least of it, Douglas Laycock, a University of Virginia School of Law professor, told the ABA Journal.
