Do you? 197 00:12:15,150 --> 00:12:19,390 February 10th, 1991, an associate by the name of... 198 00:12:20,220 --> 00:12:24,940 Robin Michael, after working 14 -hour days for two weeks straight, was leaving 199 00:12:24,940 --> 00:12:29,720 the office at 6 p .m. to attend a hockey game. You stopped him at the door, told 200 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,060 him you had him fired if he went. I was waiting on research he was responsible 201 00:12:34,060 --> 00:12:36,220 for. It couldn't have waited till the following day? 202 00:12:36,540 --> 00:12:43,180 No. December 14th, 1990, you initiated a confrontation with Bob Connolly, a 203 00:12:43,180 --> 00:12:46,080 senior member at the firm, because of an imagined slight. 204 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,760 And you saw fit to do so in front of a client. It wasn't imagined. 205 00:12:50,540 --> 00:12:54,780 I felt as though Bob Connolly had addressed me in a condescending tone of 206 00:12:55,020 --> 00:12:58,080 Well, would you tell us, Miss Kincaid, what you hoped to accomplish by 207 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,560 initiating a confrontation in front of a client? 208 00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:03,500 I didn't hope to accomplish anything, Mr. 209 00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:07,920 McCafferty. I did it because I found Mr. Connolly's behavior intolerable. 210 00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:13,040 Do you fit in at Owen, Pierce, McIntyre, and Reynolds, Miss Kincaid? Objection! 211 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,420 I wasn't allowed to fit in. 212 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,500 I'm not sexy. I'm not funny. 213 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,240 And I don't know the secret handshake. 214 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,180 If they didn't want me around, they should have said so. I think in a manner 215 00:13:24,180 --> 00:13:26,540 speaking, that's what they did. Isn't it, Miss Kincaid? 216 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,120 I put my heart and soul into that job. 217 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,940 I held back nothing. 218 00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:34,920 If they weren't prepared to treat me like a colleague, they shouldn't have 219 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:35,920 me in the first place. 220 00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:40,360 They shouldn't have stolen eight years of my life. 221 00:13:41,580 --> 00:13:42,580 I'm finished, Your Honor. 222 00:14:07,310 --> 00:14:08,570 I can't believe what you're driving. 223 00:14:08,830 --> 00:14:10,350 Hey, if you're going to have a car, have a car. 224 00:14:10,970 --> 00:14:12,230 Good to see you. 225 00:14:15,410 --> 00:14:16,610 So you and Jeffrey are finished? 226 00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:18,310 Yeah, we're divorced. 227 00:14:18,730 --> 00:14:19,730 I'm sorry to hear that. 228 00:14:20,050 --> 00:14:22,970 Hey, it's for the best anyway, believe me. We would have killed each other if 229 00:14:22,970 --> 00:14:23,970 would have stayed together. 230 00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:25,470 How's his health? 231 00:14:26,130 --> 00:14:27,130 Mentally, he's terminal. 232 00:14:27,490 --> 00:14:28,490 Physically, he's fine. 233 00:14:29,250 --> 00:14:30,189 How's Sidney? 234 00:14:30,190 --> 00:14:31,590 Good. Charlie? 235 00:14:31,950 --> 00:14:34,170 Good. Everybody's just where they were when you left. 236 00:14:34,890 --> 00:14:36,490 You know, I think about you guys a lot. 237 00:14:37,380 --> 00:14:38,380 Yeah? Yeah. 238 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,080 How? What have you been doing since you're out here? 239 00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:44,460 Ah, you know, a little bit of this, a little bit of that. 240 00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:48,360 You know, looking for a job, meeting people, going on a lot of blind dates, 241 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,620 checking out the local culture. 242 00:14:50,420 --> 00:14:54,160 It's not much like New York, is it? It's not anything like New York. It's clean, 243 00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:59,120 sunny all the time, nobody jaywalks, nobody has had a dress. 244 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,820 Other than that, I love it. 245 00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:04,320 You want to work for me while I'm in town? 246 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,560 You need somebody? 247 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:06,640 Yes, I need somebody. 248 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,740 Oh, I would love to work for you. 249 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,420 In addition to everything else, I could use some help getting around town. 250 00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:12,579 What do you mean? 251 00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:13,580 I don't drive. 252 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:14,840 What do you mean you don't drive? 253 00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:17,500 I've lived in New York City all my life. Denise, I never learned to drive. 254 00:15:18,180 --> 00:15:19,180 I'll be your driver. 255 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,000 Great. 256 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,780 You know, you don't know how much easier it is to get around out here than it is 257 00:15:24,780 --> 00:15:28,680 in New York. I mean, it hardly ever rains. You never, ever have to fight for 258 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,960 cab. People are courteous. They're more relaxed. 259 00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:32,700 You know, they're not always trying to kill each other. 260 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,599 What are you looking at? 261 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,800 I'm looking at you. 262 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,520 And I'm liking what I see. 263 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:43,779 Oh, really? 264 00:15:43,780 --> 00:15:44,739 That's right. 265 00:15:44,740 --> 00:15:46,780 Give me your telephone number. Drop dead. 266 00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:48,220 Give me your telephone number. 267 00:15:48,540 --> 00:15:49,419 Let's go. 268 00:15:49,420 --> 00:15:50,420 Come on. 269 00:15:53,740 --> 00:15:56,660 Court will come to order. Judge Shays presiding. 270 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:01,680 Be seated. 271 00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:05,320 People versus Sandy Morrison. 272 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,900 Thomas Mullaney for the prosecution, Your Honor. 273 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,760 The defendant is charged under Section 189 of the California Penal Code with 274 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:13,760 murder in the first degree. 275 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,920 My name is Eli Levinson, Your Honor. I'm an attorney licensed to practice in the 276 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,020 state of New York. My appearance on Mr. Morrison's behalf is pro hoc vice. Do 277 00:16:21,020 --> 00:16:23,120 you have supporting papers for a pro hoc vice appearance? 278 00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:24,359 I do. 279 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:25,360 Approach. 280 00:16:30,719 --> 00:16:32,400 Is your client prepared to enter a plea? 281 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,640 At this point, Your Honor, I really haven't had an adequate opportunity to 282 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,860 confer with my client. I would beg the court's indulgence that he might enter a 283 00:16:38,860 --> 00:16:39,819 plea at a later date. 284 00:16:39,820 --> 00:16:42,100 I'll set it down for Thursday. Is that all right, Mr. Mullaney? 285 00:16:42,420 --> 00:16:43,420 Yes, it is, Your Honor. 286 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,940 At this time, Your Honor, I would also move for Mr. Mullaney's 287 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,500 On what grounds? On the grounds that my appearance in the state of California is 288 00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:53,900 in association with a firm of McKenzie, Brackman, Becker, Kelsey, Markowitz, and 289 00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:57,340 Morales, a firm of which I believe Mr. Mullaney was a member. Your Honor, I 290 00:16:57,340 --> 00:16:59,560 haven't been a member of the firm for more than a year. 291 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,940 And I haven't met Mr. Levinson until today. 292 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,280 I'm going to have to take this matter under advisement, gentlemen. I am not 293 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,660 prepared to rule on this now. 294 00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:11,920 Your Honor, in that I sense this is little more than a delaying tactic, I'm 295 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,900 prepared to withdraw from the case. My office will appoint another prosecutor. 296 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,920 Very well. I would assume that all evidence related to this case be made 297 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,460 available, be it inculpatory or exculpatory. I would also ask that at 298 00:17:22,460 --> 00:17:25,819 hearing the court entertain an application for bail. I believe that 299 00:17:25,980 --> 00:17:30,160 Levinson looks over the evidence, inculpatory and exculpatory, he will 300 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,740 to pursue his application for bail. Why is that? 301 00:17:33,180 --> 00:17:34,440 Mr. Morrison confessed. 302 00:17:44,050 --> 00:17:45,710 I'll see you back at the office. 303 00:17:46,250 --> 00:17:47,250 Excuse me. 304 00:17:47,890 --> 00:17:49,190 You're Sandy's parents? 305 00:17:50,170 --> 00:17:51,910 Yes, we are. I'm Jonah Berge. 306 00:17:52,270 --> 00:17:53,790 It was my wife who was killed. 307 00:17:54,770 --> 00:18:00,330 I want you to know that I'm not unaware of your pain in all of this, and I 308 00:18:00,330 --> 00:18:03,710 certainly don't want you to feel as though I'm going to be sitting here in 309 00:18:03,710 --> 00:18:06,230 looking at you or your son, for that matter, with hatred. 310 00:18:07,490 --> 00:18:08,650 This is a tragedy. 311 00:18:10,550 --> 00:18:12,410 Tragedy for all of us. Yes, it is. 312 00:18:13,670 --> 00:18:15,470 Thank you for saying that. 313 00:18:15,810 --> 00:18:19,030 If Gail were here, she would have said it. But since she isn't, I know that she 314 00:18:19,030 --> 00:18:20,030 would want me to. 315 00:18:25,250 --> 00:18:26,229 Look at her all. 316 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:29,890 I was pleased with yesterday. What about you? I thought it went well. The cat 317 00:18:29,890 --> 00:18:30,890 that he got to me. 318 00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:32,450 A little. It's okay, though. 319 00:18:32,830 --> 00:18:36,270 I didn't want him to get to me. From the jury's perspective, it'll probably work 320 00:18:36,270 --> 00:18:37,430 to your advantage that he did. 321 00:18:38,210 --> 00:18:39,210 Sylvia. 322 00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:40,659 Hello, Judith. 323 00:18:40,660 --> 00:18:42,980 I didn't expect they'd have you sitting in the port. 324 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,440 I am a member of the firm. 325 00:18:46,260 --> 00:18:50,600 They're using you as window dressing, Sylvia. I don't choose to see it that 326 00:18:50,620 --> 00:18:52,920 Judith. I believe I'm serving a useful function. 327 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,340 May we join you? 328 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,180 I'd rather that you didn't. 329 00:19:07,690 --> 00:19:13,010 Could you tell us why an offer of partnership wasn't made to Judith 330 00:19:13,230 --> 00:19:16,810 I'd say it was a combination of things. Her work was good, albeit not 331 00:19:16,810 --> 00:19:17,810 exceptional. 332 00:19:18,110 --> 00:19:23,630 She demonstrated no real potential for generating business, and her personality 333 00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:28,130 most definitely hurt her. In what way did it hurt her? Those of us who worked 334 00:19:28,130 --> 00:19:30,910 with her found her to be rather severe, cold even. 335 00:19:31,410 --> 00:19:34,530 She had a low flashpoint. She tended to be... 336 00:19:34,830 --> 00:19:38,190 Well, abrasive, bossy, ill -tempered, not a lot of fun to be around. 337 00:19:39,250 --> 00:19:41,890 Given all that, we decided she wasn't partnership material. 338 00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:44,930 Was this determination influenced by the fact that she's a woman? 339 00:19:45,370 --> 00:19:46,370 Absolutely not. 340 00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:48,490 If anything, I'd say it gave her an advantage. 341 00:19:48,770 --> 00:19:51,330 We're desperately trying to bring in some women partners. 342 00:19:51,570 --> 00:19:52,950 We're in law schools recruiting. 343 00:19:53,330 --> 00:19:57,690 We have more women associates at the firm now than at any time in the past 344 00:19:57,690 --> 00:20:01,110 history, and I think that at least one of them is going to make partner. 345 00:20:01,350 --> 00:20:02,690 I assure you, we want a woman. 346 00:20:03,450 --> 00:20:05,790 We just... Didn't want this woman. 347 00:20:06,010 --> 00:20:07,010 I have nothing further. 348 00:20:09,470 --> 00:20:13,370 How many attorneys are there in your firm, Mr. McIntyre? Forty -three. 349 00:20:13,690 --> 00:20:14,770 How many partners? 350 00:20:15,190 --> 00:20:17,550 Ten senior partners, fourteen junior partners. 351 00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:20,110 How many senior partners are women? 352 00:20:20,790 --> 00:20:24,950 None. How many junior partners are women? I'm not unaware that there's a 353 00:20:24,950 --> 00:20:25,950 problem. 354 00:20:26,270 --> 00:20:29,470 We are in need of the humanizing influence a woman would bring. 355 00:20:29,820 --> 00:20:31,380 The right woman just hasn't come along. 356 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:32,820 The truth is, she doesn't exist. 357 00:20:33,180 --> 00:20:36,540 The attributes you want in a woman and the attributes you want in a lawyer are 358 00:20:36,540 --> 00:20:39,500 mutually exclusive. Your Honor.

Can you understand that? 430 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,160 Obviously, it's not an issue of any significance. 431 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,000 Are you married, Miss Reiner? 432 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,320 Objection.

Yet there were a variety of perquisites and privileges extended to 449 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,280 associates that weren't extended to you, weren't there? I really have no 450 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,040 complaints about the way I've been treated. 451 00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:27,460 Were you given your own office? 452 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,540 No, I wasn't. Your own secretary? 453 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,020 No. Isn't it a fact, Miss Reiner, that you make less money than associates whom 454 00:25:34,020 --> 00:25:35,260 you yourself have trained? 455 00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:38,680 I wouldn't know the answer to that question.

This evaluation is ancient history. 463 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,580 Attitudes towards women across the board were totally different then.

She was abrasive. They showed leadership. She was bossy. 569 00:31:33,660 --> 00:31:34,980 They were businesslike. 570 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,260 She was cold. 571 00:31:37,870 --> 00:31:41,270 Nobody told her when she first interviewed with the firm that she would 572 00:31:41,270 --> 00:31:44,650 judged not on how hard she worked, but how much fun she was to be around. 573 00:31:45,070 --> 00:31:49,030 Nobody told her that her failure to smile or her lack of interest in sports 574 00:31:49,030 --> 00:31:52,010 would represent an insurmountable obstacle to advancement. 575 00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:57,470 And the reason nobody told her was that the men who interviewed her wanted her 576 00:31:57,470 --> 00:31:58,470 to work for them. 577 00:31:58,570 --> 00:32:03,190 They knew that this was a bright, driven attorney who could be depended upon to 578 00:32:03,190 --> 00:32:04,190 work her tail off. 579 00:32:04,380 --> 00:32:06,980 They knew that it would be six or seven years before they'd have to tell her 580 00:32:06,980 --> 00:32:08,040 that she wasn't going to make partner. 581 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,240 They knew what a good deal they had here. 582 00:32:12,180 --> 00:32:15,480 They had only to look at the deal they had with Sylvia Reiner. 583 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,120 Now, I have no doubt but that the men of Owen, Pierce, McIntyre, and Reynolds 584 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,940 are made somewhat uncomfortable by Judith Kincaid. I have no doubt that 585 00:32:24,940 --> 00:32:27,980 more comfortable having as partners other men like themselves. 586 00:32:28,580 --> 00:32:31,680 We ask that you consider the cost of that comfort. 587 00:32:32,750 --> 00:32:37,270 We ask that you look at the lives that are expended without recognition or 588 00:32:37,270 --> 00:32:39,850 reward. We ask that you do something about it. 589 00:32:46,990 --> 00:32:51,910 When Judith Kincaid came to work at Owen Pierce McIntyre and Reynolds, what did 590 00:32:51,910 --> 00:32:53,070 she have a right to expect? 591 00:32:54,470 --> 00:32:58,510 She had the right to expect to be paid fairly and be given the same 592 00:32:58,510 --> 00:33:01,350 opportunities as other associates at the firm. 593 00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:06,700 The fact that she was judged and found wanting does not translate into an act 594 00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:07,700 discrimination. 595 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,900 Her work was satisfactory, her demeanor less so. 596 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,060 Given the range of candidates, the senior partners chose who they felt were 597 00:33:17,060 --> 00:33:21,560 qualified. They made a decision. So long as there were legitimate reasons for 598 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,460 that decision, they were wholly within their rights to make it. If you decide 599 00:33:25,460 --> 00:33:30,160 otherwise, if you compensate Judith Kincaid for this alleged wrong, by 600 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:35,660 you will... hurt the prospects of all women who work he will presume by 601 00:33:35,660 --> 00:33:39,740 inference that women can't be judged honestly that they can't compete on the 602 00:33:39,740 --> 00:33:44,820 basis of their own abilities that they need attorneys shepherding their 603 00:33:44,820 --> 00:33:51,720 i believe that hard work and talent will result in women taking their rightful 604 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:57,280 place alongside men in all strata of society but in order for that to happen 605 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,780 they must be permitted to fail 606 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,300 All of us who work for a living stand on our own two feet. We all vie for 607 00:34:05,300 --> 00:34:10,139 promotions. We are all subject to the judgment of others. If we get knocked 608 00:34:10,139 --> 00:34:15,440 down, we get back up, brush ourselves off, get back into the ring. We learn 609 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,020 our failures. We learn from our mistakes. 610 00:34:21,380 --> 00:34:24,020 Let Judith Kincaid do the very same thing. 611 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:28,659 You like this place? 612 00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:29,900 Yes, it's nice. 613 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:32,320 I know the owner.

Why pass? 665 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,580 Because she's a member of the religious right. Wait a second. All we know is 666 00:37:03,580 --> 00:37:05,580 that she's a young woman who happens to believe in God. 667 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:06,840 Is that all we know? 668 00:37:06,860 --> 00:37:08,560 She went to Bob Jones University. 669 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,400 Yeah. 670 00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:14,240 Ask her her position on freedom of choice for women.

We're 672 00:37:17,780 --> 00:37:18,860 looking for a first -year associate. 673 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,160 Wait a minute. Whatever the relative merits of this woman, I think the fact 674 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,580 Ann is as adamantly opposed to her as she is could account for something. 675 00:37:25,900 --> 00:37:29,190 Do you think we shouldn't consider her? I'm saying we shouldn't consider her. If 676 00:37:29,190 --> 00:37:31,930 we can dismiss those other people out of hand, we can dismiss her out of hand. 677 00:37:32,010 --> 00:37:34,850 Tell me something, Stuart. How would you feel if we were talking about a Jew? 678 00:37:35,230 --> 00:37:36,530 Not the same thing. 679 00:37:36,810 --> 00:37:37,810 Not the same thing? 680 00:37:37,870 --> 00:37:39,030 Exactly the same thing. 681 00:37:39,830 --> 00:37:43,930 This woman hasn't said one word about abortion or homosexuality or anything 682 00:37:43,930 --> 00:37:47,850 else. What you're doing is exactly what all those white -shoe downtown firms do 683 00:37:47,850 --> 00:37:51,390 when they sit around and refuse to consider tainting themselves by allowing 684 00:37:51,390 --> 00:37:52,390 Jew in their midst. 685 00:37:52,510 --> 00:37:55,830 It's exactly the same thing, and the two of you know it. It appears that since 686 00:37:55,830 --> 00:37:59,870 we started interviewing, she's far and away the best candidate we've seen. 687 00:38:00,310 --> 00:38:01,570 And we need to hire someone. 688 00:38:02,070 --> 00:38:05,150 If she starts proselytizing, well, we'll tell her to stop. 689 00:38:05,450 --> 00:38:07,390 If she doesn't stop, we'll get rid of her. 690 00:38:08,110 --> 00:38:09,990 I vote we hire her. So do I. 691 00:38:10,230 --> 00:38:14,070 I vote no. Me too. I can't see keeping her out because of her beliefs.

I resent that. 701 00:38:34,790 --> 00:38:36,970 Are you saying you have no interest in going to bed with her? 702 00:38:37,370 --> 00:38:39,130 I'm saying that the thought never crossed my mind. 703 00:38:48,879 --> 00:38:50,280 Have you tasted these things? 704 00:38:50,500 --> 00:38:53,220 What?

It's red. 707 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,240 It's like cotton. I hate to tell you, Eli, but not everybody likes hard 708 00:39:03,340 --> 00:39:04,340 H andH, they are not. 709 00:39:04,460 --> 00:39:06,080 Kosar's Bialy, they are not.
