In our latest chat, we discuss Biglaw strip club outings, Jeff Clark taking time away from his indictment to be an idiot online, and associates unhappy with a law firm's office tracker.-----Gunderson Dettmer got a lot of flack on Reddit from folks accusing the firm of <a href="https://abovethelaw.com/2023/09/strip-club-summer-associate-outing/">hosting a summer event at a strip club</a>. It wasn't a strip club, but it was a nightclub with scantily clad go-go dancers, which doesn't make it much better from the perspective of a harassment-free work environment. And after making it rain at the club, <a href="https://abovethelaw.com/2023/09/strip-club-summer-outing-worse/">the firm ended up no-offering a bunch of summers anayway</a>. Jeff Clark took shots at Neal Katyal on social media. He missed. And Goodwin unveiled an office presence tool to <a href="https://abovethelaw.com/2023/09/goodwin-office-tracking-technology/">let folks know who is in and out of the office at all times</a>. Folks don't seem happy about it, but is it just the price we pay for hybrid work?

Fifth Circuit Gets Way More Originalist Than You Thought Possible

Thinking Like A Lawyer is a podcast featuring Above the Law's Joe Patrice, Kathryn Rubino, and Chris Williams. Each episode, the hosts will take a topic experienced and enjoyed by regular people, and shine it through the prism of a legal framework. This will either reveal an awesome rainbow of thought, or a disorienting kaleidoscope of issues. Either way, it should be fun.
