How to Protect an Asshole

This story about Holland & Knight documents how the leader of a large law firm protected — and then promoted — a partner with a well-documented history of sexual abuse.  When this jerk was later promoted to a senior management position, there was an outcry within the firm, and he was removed from the position. But the offender still was working at the firm last time I checked: This is the kind of thing that gives lawyers the reputation for being assholes, especially males. I will refrain from a summary: You have to read it yourself.

By the way, a few years before this incident, the firm was bragging about their "no jerk rule."  I guess they were using talk as a substituite — or perhaps a smokescreen — for action.
