Description

This ethics essay discusses the case history of Ezold v. Wolf, Block, Schorr and Solis-Cohen, the first sex discrimination case to go to trial against any professional partnership. Drawing from litigation filings, contemporary news accounts, and interviews with the major participants and their lawyers, the account discusses the complex procedural, substantive, and personal considerations that shape legal actions. Because the case illustrates that there were no clear villains or victims—the plaintiff won at trial but lost on appeal—it is an ideal supplement to a class on trial advocacy, civil procedure, employment discrimination, labor law, or women and the law.
