Today's Video Focus: Harnessing the power of its new Democratic majority, the Virginia legislature is poised to vote this week to become the 38th of the 38 states needed to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, which would make women’s rights explicit in the Constitution. In the video Op-Ed above, the filmmaker Ken Burns compares this historic moment with the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote 100 years ago.
Focus of the Day article: Law firms are still not getting it,” said Curt McDaniel, chief legal officer at Ferring Pharmaceutical. “The global legal services industry has already changed, the disruption is already happening. Their Kodak moment is now, and either they will implode like Kodak, or be like Fuji Film and innovate and find a way forward. The hourly rates are too high, and too remote from the needs of business.” Full story - The Global Legal Post
