Irell Manella in LA is similar. Wachtell and Debevoise are also fairly liberal, both on GLBTQ issues and general progressive causes.ConMan345 wrote:I've heard Clearly Gottlieb referred to (tongue-in-cheek) as "Queery Gottlieb." Probably one of the most liberal of the V10.

Let me rephrase: they have a giant HRC logo [strike]on their homepage.[/strike] on their website. Unlike others who have all the boxes checked off, Arent Fox actually places in the HRC top business rankings.underdawg wrote:i think most v100 law firms have a perfect score on thatCupidity wrote:I think Arent Fox may be, based on their HRC score.
They also have one of the most generous diversity scholarship programs for GLBTQ folks; I want to say the 2L scholarship is $15,000 in addition to a guaranteed paying firm gig 1L and 2L summers.Cupidity wrote:Let me rephrase: they have a giant HRC logo [strike]on their homepage.[/strike] on their website.

Yes, I didn't mean to imply that it was just a GLBTQ scholarship, just that it was one of the most generous programs to which us queer folks can apply.Cupidity wrote:It isn't just LGBT, it is "diversity" and from the app it looks heavily African American leaning, however I'd still apply. 15k 1L summer scholarship + paying gig + gay associate cocktail parties.
Off-topic: I'm thoroughly opposed to the incorporation of the Q.

Ahaha. I identify with the "Q" so I think it's important. We don't need to have a chat about it's importance in the rhetoric of the movement here...maybe the Lavender Law Conference is a more appropriate venueCupidity wrote:Off-topic: I'm thoroughly opposed to the incorporation of the Q.

I want to approve of this hijack, because I likewise disapprove of the "Q". But it will inevitably result in some dumb mofo showing up and throwing down some horribly insulting shit. So, back on topic (as boring as it is).Cupidity wrote:Off-topic: I'm thoroughly opposed to the incorporation of the Q.

Killself right now.sfdreaming09 wrote:I’m a 0L so this issue doesn’t affect me for quite some time, but I was wondering which V100 law firms are considered liberal/Democratic-leaning? I’ve heard of Akin Gump, Arnold and Porter, and Perkins Coie…any others?
