<<But that's what Rita W. Gordon is trying against Skadden Arps. Skadden is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, fish in the legal firm sea (actually, more like a whale), yet Gordon is trying anyway.


Gordon is suing Skadden over her termination. One thing is clear: nothing is clear about this case. Gordon worked in Skadden's litigation department as counsel. In 2005 she was let go. Why? According to the firm, it was because she had charged clients for personal car service use, which was inappropriate.

Gordon, now suing Skadden, disagrees. Her claim is that Skadden wanted to beef up its "macho" litigation image and was looking for a non-discriminatory excuse to fire her and replace her with some young man who would, supposedly, fit that macho image.

Of course, her own complaint says she apparently ran up over $50,000 in car service fees, which appears to be a bit excessive, though Gordon claims her medical condition required it.

In any case, this should be fun as discrimination charges fly and the truth finally comes out.
