A Message From the Editor

Call it the gray box system. According to our first item today, firms are becoming increasingly less transparent about partner pay, although many have not gone as far as installing a black box system, which keeps partner pay completely secret across the firm. Our first story has details. Also, a jury has awarded $15 million to the families of three individuals either killed or severely injured while on their way to work, and the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to wade into a challenge to thousands of Pennsylvania provisional ballots.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor
