Meet The Lawyers Who Took On White Supremacy
The 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, seized the nation’s attention as a gathering of white nationalists opposing the removal of a Confederate statue soon turned deadly. What came next was a years-long legal fight to hold the rally’s organizers accountable for the violence, which was chronicled in the recent HBO documentary “No Accident.” This week on Pro Say, we’re joined by attorneys Michael Bloch and Benjamin White, who successfully litigated the case. They share details about the complex trial strategy that may lead to success in future efforts to use the legal system to fight against hate. Also this week, the real estate industry is rocked by $1.8 billion antitrust verdict finding collusion between realtors and brokerage companies to keep commission fees artificially high, and the demise of former BigLaw stalwart Stroock & Stroock offers lessons for struggling shops. Finally, it must be exhausting always rooting for the law school curriculum, as Taylor Swift steps into the world of legal academia.
