Jones Day Wants Gender Discrimination Plaintiffs to Reveal Themselves to the Public
Jones Day is objecting to the use of pseudonyms for four of the six plaintiffs who have sued the Biglaw firm for allegedly discriminating against female partners and associates in compensation.
Above the Law reports that the firm told the judge hearing some of the cases that “the court’s approval of the pseudonyms itself impugns Jones Day’s reputation by implying, without basis in evidence, that Jones Day would improperly retaliate against the Jane Does if their identities were made public.”
The firm’s motion said that “pseudonyms prevent the public—including clients, potential clients, lateral recruits, and law students—from fully evaluating the Does’ allegations and credibility.”
