“The proactive, nefarious work coming from China and Russia in particular [will make US policymakers] “realize that we don’t have control over everything that we think we have control over,” Tara Murphy Dougherty, CEO of Govini said By Paul McLeary ....
By Brad D. Williams on April 12, 2021 at 4:20 PM WASHINGTON: The Biden administration today announced its intent to nominate John Chris Inglis as America’s first national cybersecurity director and Jen Easterly to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Inglis is a former deputy director at the National Security Agency. He is expected to be confirmed by Congress. In the newly created position, he will join the White House’s current cybersecurity team, which includes NSA veteran Anne Neuberger, the first deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging technology. The national cybersecurity director position was recommended by the Cyberspace Solarium Commission and created by the Fiscal Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, which became law on Jan. 1. The administration’s delay in nominating someone for the position has created tension between the White House and Congress in recent months. ....

These lessons probably should have guided Yale Law’s Amy Chua when she pushed back against the administration’s decision to remove her from a small 1L mentorship group. Honestly, Chua’s “punishment” is almost too insignificant to note.

From pay to partnership promotions to the composition of leadership committees to family policies, there are many areas where law firms must change to keep up with the times especially during the pandemic era. Thankfully, some law firms are becoming more progressive, but which firms are doing the best they can for women in all areas? For the third year in a row, the Yale Law Women have released a ranking of the Top Firms for Gender Equity, coupled with its annual list of the Top Family-Friendly Firms. We’ve written about the latter ranking every year (see our coverage from 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008), and covered YLW’s important new dual ranking in 2019 and 2020. ....
April 12, 2021 at 3:50 PM Shares519 I should not have to care whether my religious beliefs conflict with the majority of those in any branch of our government. The Constitution as enumerated in Article VI Section 3 and the First Amendment is supposed to guarantee that government should not care that for the first time ever the number of Americans who belong to a church has fallen below a majority. Unfortunately, a lot of people do care. In fact, some are downright terrified at the decline in religion. And it just so happens, many people who are terrified are also in government. According to the most recent Attorney General, William Barr, this country was founded on the premise (expressed by John Adams that one time) that our government “was only suitable and sustainable for a religious people.” An attorney general saying this country is only intended and suitable for religious people is deeply disturbing for a couple of reasons. First, one John Adams quote notw ....
