A Message From the Editor

In rejecting Penn's efforts to escape a professor's defamation suit, a federal judge waded into what she described as a 'modern era of Cancel Culture.' At a time when lawsuits arising out of academia appear to be on the rise, the opinion sheds some light into how judges may consider high-profile incidents. Read our first item today for more details. Also, additional allegations have arisen stemming from the saga involving Dechert's former white collar head, Neil Gerrard.

Thanks for reading!
