As I inch ever closer to my 400th blogpost here, today's offering is something of a companion piece to a post I wrote almost exactly 13 months ago that demonstrates what should be an obvious point, what is a very important point in the world of disciplinary defense but much less obvious, and at least one highly curious one.

This post involves, Sherri Jefferson, a Georgia lawyer who has now been disbarred over what was largely the same sort of conduct that got the Pennsylvania lawyer in trouble who was the subject of that earlier post.

Kirkland & Ellis informed The American Lawyer by letter that 2026 would be the last year it supplies revenue and profit figures to the press. Public reporting, the firm wrote, “does not provide meaningful value to our clients,” and the rankings it feeds “could incentivize quantitative metrics over qualitative strengths.” Justin Henry, Kirkland Goes Dark on Reporting Revenue and Profits to Media, Bloomberg L.
