Chadbourne & Parke, which earlier this month sought to dismiss a $100 million gender bias suit filed by a current female partner, moved this week to try and quiet a former mailroom employee who issued an announcement about an e-book he wrote detailing his experience at the Am Law 200 firm nearly a decade ago.
On Monday, Richard Thomas, a 36-year-old unemployed resident of Brooklyn, New York, writing under the pen name Webster Edgewood, distributed a press release to several outlets touting the Nov. 16 release of an e-book he renamed and revised to include mention of Chadbourne’s gender bias battle with litigation partner Kerrie Campbell and former Kiev office managing partner Jaroslawa Zelinsky Johnson.
