I had 4 questions to help provide more context for the significance of the Paul Weiss settlement agreement:
1 Why'd they agree to stop (?) their DEI activities? Not to mention DEI means so many different things to different people/firms so how did they define DEI and why would they agree to some government imposition on (for example) their hiring rules? Separately that seems a bridge too far?
2 Does the agreement prohibit Paul Weiss from representing clients (plaintiffs) who are suing the government? If not, then I feel SLIGHTLY less violated by the $40M of pro bono work FOR the government?
3 What happens if they aren't prohibited from representing clients that sue the government and the government says "we want you to defend us"? WHO gets to decide which of the parties they represent? Again, that could make me feel less OR more violated.
4 Does Paul Weiss have any "right of refusal" for what they get asked to do the pro bono work for? Again, that could make me feel less OR more violated.
