Hey, law students, did you think you were going to be able to attend your Biglaw summer associate program in person thanks to the rise of vaccination protocols across the country? Think again.
Many large law firms have finally made decisions on what their summer programs will look like, and the trend seems to be leaning toward virtual programs for the second year in a row thanks to COVID-19. The American Lawyer has the details on which firms have made their plans known:
Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, Goodwin Procter and Ropes & Gray will have completely virtual programs, with the first two opting for a full 10-week summer associate schedule.
Following CISA's weekend updates on continuing Exchange server hacks, Microsoft is investigating the significant uptick in exploits just days before patches were released.

“I’m not saying Hitler did nothing wrong, but did he do anything wrong?” accused Capitol rioter Timothy Hale-Cusinelli wondered on a February 2020 podcast. After January 6, he pulled that one off of YouTube and attempted to delete the pictures of himself sporting a distinctive mustache from his phone.
But he couldn’t delete his coworkers’ memories of the time he showed up at work LARPing as a Nazi. Ditto for his habit of asking all new hires if they were Jewish.
Thirty-three of Hale-Cusinelli’s coworkers told the FBI under oath that he was a virulently anti-semitic white supremacist who promised to leave his job “in a blaze of glory.” And while it’s not illegal to be a bigot, it probably won’t help bolster the claim that fomenting a race war and overthrowing the federal government was the farthest thing from Hale-Cusinelli’s mind as he directed a stream of protestors around the Capitol.
