Swing and a miss, you can’t read apparently.
“These rankings reveal the most prestigious law firms by region across the U.S.”
September 26, 2017 - When coaches all around the country were afraid to come out and support kneeling or even give their thoughts on kneeling. A young 37 year old coach in just his second year on the job was asked what he thought about kneeling.
“We’ve got some really bright guys on our team.” “We’ve had some really powerful discussions within our walls, really dating back to fall camp."
“I’m a guy that really likes to have those conversations, those discussions because I think it’s important. I think it’s a really important time in our country, and I think leadership and teaching young men what’s going on throughout the world is really, really important rather than just being about football.”
“I don’t have an issue with our guys taking a stance in what they believe in. “Whatever our guys do, you hope it’s unified, you hope it’s powerful.”

6/07/2020 - KF looks into the camera and still confirming he's can't ever recall talking about racial issues in his program during his entire 21 Iowa year tenure, never seen or have been brought up to him by players or player parents
So Iowa passed on 7 better options to his the one with a conflict of interest? Yikes
Actually, I can read and comprehend. These ratings are laughable and completely random. I know most of those firms as I know the attorneys and partners at those firms. I work with them daily.
So tell me again about how this ranking system works and how prestigious that firm is that you have read about on the internet.
The Vault rankings are hands down the most frequently used/cited rankings for measuring the prestige of law firms. Whether Husch Blackwell is 8th or 12th doesn’t really matter - either way, it is one of the best law firms in the Midwest, which was my original point.
Look, I don't know why this concept is hard for you to grasp, but it is the same reason you don't have a jury of white cops determine the case of a white cop killing a black man. It is possible they are good people who come to the correct conclusion, but people aren't going to trust them if they let them off easy.
6 of the 7 partners at Husch Blackwell that went to Iowa Law are in business/healthcare/insurance law and will assuredly not be involved in the investigation in any capacity.
Almost any big law firm in the Midwest is going to have a number of attorneys that went to Iowa. Discrediting the investigation before it starts because the law firm has attorneys that went to Iowa is so unbelievably stupid.
Honest question. Have some of the Cyclone players taken a knee during the national anthem since then?
It's also the first one that comes up when you Google search "top law firms in US". You do know that you can pay to have your name come to the top of a Google search. I mean you and your prestigious degree and your athletic prowess (IM Basketball Champion (4' and under class) at University of Phoenix) probably already know this though.
Honest question, what genre of law will be used in this specific case? Also, like most of us have said, if the person that does the investigation is not from the University of Iowa, no one will care!
You understand from their disclaimer that results are taken from surveys given to the employees and interns...right? That means that firms with the most perks, highest salaries, and shiny offices typically obtain better survey results. It isn't a ranking based on actual customer inputs or outside the firm inputs. These employees have incentives to giving their firms better surveys.
You are trying to justify the selection based on this and totally ignoring the fact that multiple employees are former Iowa grads and thus introducing the question of bias before a report is even started.
Congrats...another windmill to tilt at.

Here's a story of him throwing an absolute fit after a fumble call didn't go Iowa's way against Minnesota.
It's almost as stupid as spending 8+ hrs a day on an opposing team's message board frantically flailing about in defense of Dear Leader Kirk and his culture of discrimination. Almost.
