Look Who's the Fat Cat Associate in the Jones Day Gender Bias Suit
While his academic pedigree is solid, it does not evince superstardom.

Of the many alleged indignities described in Wendy Moore's complaint in her gender discrimination lawsuit against Jones Day, this one popped up at me like a crazy jack-in-the-box: A sixth year associate—male—took home $810,000—about the same amount that Moore made as an eighth-year partner at the firm.
Holy Toledo! (Or should I say Cleveland?) That's a hell of a lot of money for an associate with only a half-dozen years under his belt. That would be an amazing sum for a 10th year associate, even a junior partner at most firms. (At Cravath, the top associate base salary is $340,000.)
