[edit] In the news / Chronology

Do we want to keep this section chonological or reverse chrono? I prefer forward. samwaltz 09:17, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Why is there so much stuff about Baker & McKenzie in the news? Other law firms do seem to have an equivalent section.

[edit] In the News

Many of the items from the "In the News" section read to me like they're from a press release. Going back through the history I see that a number of the positive ones were added by anonymous editors. I suspect this page has been hit by the B&M marketing department. I'm not sure what to do about this section, but is it even encyclopedic? Elliotreed 03:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)


Is there a reason why the Geoffrey F. Bowers job discrimination case against B&M isn't mentioned at all here? It inspired an Oscar winning movie.71.98.70.5 06:41, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

That would be because someone (probably a B&M employee) deleted this information back in January. I have just reinstated it. -- Sakurambo 桜ん坊 08:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Largest law firm in the US ?

According to Lawyer.com, Skadden ARPS Slate Meagher & Flom was larger both in terms of profit and turnover.--2514 10:26, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
