New York City Police Department stop-and-frisk practices violate the U.S. Constitution because they disproportionately target blacks and Hispanics, U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin held last week. Scheindlin issued a preliminary injunction against the controversial stop-and-frisk policy, ordered reforms of NYPD policies and appointed Peter Zimroth of Arnold & Porter, a former city corporation counsel and New York prosecutor, to monitor the NYPD.
ENTRY-LEVEL HIRING SAGS
The entry-level law job market isn't going to rebound anytime soon, and large law firms' stingy hiring practices are largely to blame. That's the gist of a draft paper by University of North Carolina law professor Bernard Burk, who analyzed lawyer-hiring trends over the past 30 years. Firms of 100 or more attorneys have slowed most in entry-level hiring. "Over half of all the full-time, long-term…jobs that were lost between the class of 2007 and the class of 2011 were lost out of BigLaw alone," Burk wrote.
