This week in Suits by Suits:
Even in the pre-Labor Day lull, things still happen here at the Suits by Suits Global Operations Center in our Nation’s Capital. This week, we welcomed a new panda cub at the National Zoo, and celebrated the 50th anniversary of the famous March on Washington for Civil Rights, which remembered Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have A Dream” speech.
Things happened elsewhere in the broader world of disputes between executives, other employees and employers, too, including:
It’s unseasonably cool here in Washington, DC, where most of our Suits by Suits editors toil. News about the latest in disputes between employers and executives, however, is always in season. Here are the latest headlines:
Yes, yes, we’ve asked you before to nominate us to the you-know-what, but we swear this is the very last time because nominations for that prestigious list close today. We only ask because for lawyers who blog, this list is like the Academy Awards, and the Emmys, and the Grammies, and the Country Music Awards, all rolled into one. And at Suits by Suits we are, in fact, ready for our close-up, Mr. DeMille (take the afternoon off if you know what movie that’s from). Thanks if you’ve already nominated us.

Perhaps it’s because they have horoscopes and we don’t.
In any event, here are some more items to add to that stack of must-read beach books:

Here at Suits-by-Suits Headquarters in Washington, D.C. we’re all smarting from having our town named one of America’s snobbiest cities. Although we’re not all snobby by geography: one of our editors, P. Andrew Torrez, is in fact based in a wonderful place called Charm City.
But we’re not going to be mad for long, because it’s the week we celebrate the Declaration of Independence. As Americans, we revere this document that sets out our basic freedoms and lays the foundation for our nation. And, as lawyers, we’re proud that its author Thomas Jefferson, one of our own breed, did such a poetic job of setting forth his case with clarity and brevity. So, we’ll try to borrow some of his best lines in the Declaration for this week’s Inbox, where we highlight the interesting things that have come over the transom:
