Graduates vs. Big Law -- The First Lawsuit Starts

ADVERTISEMENTS

I was wondering how long it would take? 

Sarah Martinez, a recent law school grad, broke the ice. She has sued Howard, Rice, Nemerovski, Canady, Falk & Rabkin in San Francisco Superior Court for extending her an offer of employment, deferring it and now reneging, saying it didn't have the resources to hire anyone in the near future. Among the counts alleged are racial discrimination, sex discrimination, and breach of contract.
