It's K-Street code for nothing more than moving derivatives trades to an NYSE-style exchange. I suspect Sewell's silence on such real reforms as those outlined in the NYT editorial I linked tells us how she'd vote.<br /><br /> 2. Firm name/history: segregation is only one small part of the sorry Davis, Polk story. Davis, and the firm, fought the legal battles against the "socialist" programs of the New Deal. That alone should call for clear repudiation of former employment before facing a Democratic electorate. As for the county name, it's one thing to change a county name (which has not been done in Alabama since <a href="http://www.archives.alabama.gov/counties/Lamar.html" rel="nofollow">1877</a> ), and quite another to change a law firm's name. Law firms, even the largest and oldest, change their names more often than their socks.<br /> June 28, 2010 4:16 PMPublius IXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817187674652724525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496895459722362981.post-21635396470424086132010-06-27T17:28:34.847-05:002010-06-27T17:28:34.847-05:00As for Sewell's decision to leave New York and...As for Sewell's decision to leave New York and Davis Polk and come to Birmingham and Maynard Cooper, she has cited three reasons (that I know of).<br /><br />First, her father suffered a series of debilitating strokes, and she wanted to move close to home so that she could visit him often and help out in caring for him. Furthermore, she had grown somewhat disenchanted with working primarily with large corporations in New York. Finally, she only accepted the position at Maynard Cooper with the understanding that she would have the opportunity to primarily help to finance projects in under-served communities, such as the state's poorest counties and many of the state's HBCU's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496895459722362981.post-10210100421797847842010-06-27T17:18:36.892-05:002010-06-27T17:18:36.892-05:00Quote: "it strikes me that the Congressional ...Quote: "it strikes me that the Congressional district including Selma should not be represented by an alumna of a law firm with the leading segregationist lawyer of the Twentieth Century on its brass plate" /Quote<br /><br />Davis Polk has more than distanced itself from any past stances made by its namesake. The firm is committed to diversity and furthermore provides countless hours of pro bono work for, among other causes, civil rights issues.<br /><br />I understand the sentiment, don't get me wrong, but come on. If you really want to play the game of "XYZ institution is named after someone who was on the wrong side of history back in the day", then go right ahead, but it's a game with no end.<br /><br />Shelia Smoot works for Jefferson County. Jefferson County was once known worldwide as the home of the Western hemisphere's most fierce racial segregation. Furthermore, Jefferson County is named after Thomas Jefferson, who was a slave owner himself. See, this is an easy game to play.<br /><br />Are you suggesting that people not associate themselves with any institution named after or associated with past misdeeds, even if the current institution has distanced itself from such misdoings? Are we to renounce America because the country once permitted slavery and segregation, or because it forcibly removed Native Americans from their homes?<br /><br />Should we not have allowed Mercedes to build their plant in Alabama, since the company once supplied the Nazis with war materials?
