Foley & Lardner’s Wild Week

The firm said Cleta Mitchell went rogue, but that was only the start of their issues.

Note: This podcast was recorded before Mitchell resigned from Foley & Lardner, but that actually just adds to how wild this week was for the firm.

As the post-election drama gets even weirder, Biglaw partner Cleta Mitchell turned up on a call seeming to represent Donald Trump as he attempted to solicit election interference from Georgia officials. Joe and Kathryn revisit the difference between professional consequences and business consequences when it comes to lawyers and boggle over how a lawyer could let a call like this happen without confidentiality provisions. Also, Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz have elite law school educations and their classmates wish they’d act like it.
