MORE MOTHERS - A seventh woman has joined a proposed $100 million class action alleging that Morrison & Foerster held back the careers of mothers and pregnant women through unequal pay and promotion opportunities. Scott Flaherty reports that an unnamed former associate at the firm identified as Jane Doe 7 added allegations under the New York City Human Rights Law and proposed a subclass of women who worked at Morrison & Foerster in New York to the gender and pregnancy discrimination first brought nearly a year ago. The case is in San Francisco federal court.
PLEASE EXPLAIN - Roger Stone’s attorneys have asked Judge Amy Jackson Berman for clarification of a gag order she imposed last month against the longtime ally of President Trump, in light of a book he is republishing with a new introduction, which was already off to the publisher before her order. Robert Mueller’s team, which is investigating Stone’s role in the Russia election interference probe, said a preview of the book with the new intro is already available online and also said Stone shared an image on Instagram over the weekend titled “Who framed Roger Stone?”
