Good
@JoanBiskupic piece but neglects impact of out gay & lesbian partners at big law firms, which makes overtly opposing SSM uncomfortableThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Is big-law big on other marginalized communities? RT “

@cristianafarias@JoanBiskupic many firms are big on some of them w/ "hot" legal issues, eg Gitmo detainees http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_attorneys … -
@PGunigantiAT@JoanBiskupic The question then becomes: Is big-law taking these cases for altruistic reasons, or their "hotness" factor? -
@cristianafarias@JoanBiskupic prolly a mix. Cutting edge legal issues are more intellectually engaging, esp for (wannabe) appellate lawyers -
@PGunigantiAT@JoanBiskupic But with same-sex marriage, they're just copying and pasting others' briefs. Methinks they just want easy press. -
@cristianafarias Is it cut&paste? If I were called upon to write such a brief, I would tailor to specific state. SSM bans not uniform -
@PGunigantiAT No doubt. But in light of Windsor and all the district-court opinions following it, no one is really reinventing the wheel.
