The co-chair of Willkie Farr, Gordon Caplan, was named today in an unsealed federal indictment. The result of an FBI investigation dubbed “Operation Varsity Blues,” Caplan, as well as dozens of other well-to-do parents, was involved in what the U.S. Attorney’s Office calls a “nationwide conspiracy that facilitated cheating on college entrance exams and the admission of students to elite universities.”
Caplan, a lawyer who has practiced for 25 years without any published discipline, was…

On March 8, during Women’s History Month, we also celebrate International Women’s Day, a day to celebrate the contributions women make in every sector of society, many of them unseen. In the legal profession, although many gains have been made, women are still fighting for gender parity.
To celebrate the great women who teach with Lawline, we combed through the data on hundreds of programs taught by amazing women to put together…

Howard as IBM’s latest director illustrate the accelerating trend of gender and minority diversity on corporate boards – an apt topic for Women’s History Month. And there are plentiful reasons for promoting board diversity.
Sometimes board diversity is required by law. Outside the U.S., primarily in Europe, gender diversity on boards is often required. Since 2003,…
Vietnam’s new Law on Cybersecurity has garnered much attention due to its sweeping attempt to regulate online content available to internet users in Vietnam. Among its more controversial provisions are the requirements that both foreign and domestic online service providers store personal data of Vietnamese end-users in Vietnam, surrender such data to Vietnamese government authorities upon request, and supervise user posts to remove “prohibited” content (defined to include content viewed as disparaging of the Vietnamese…
