Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP

Weil Gotshal Fights to Protect the Rights of Children
Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP joined forces with The Child Advocate of Rhode Island and the national child advocacy group, Children's Rights, in commencing a class action in federal court seeking to bring reforms to the Rhode Island child welfare system and provide better protection for the rights of the approximately 3,000 children living in state custody. The suit, Sam and Tony M. v. Carcieri, cites extensive evidence that Rhode Island has consistently fallen short of its obligations and caused harm to abused and neglected children in its custody. The plaintiffs are seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to compel defendants—the Governor of the State of Rhode Island; Jane A. Hayward, Secretary of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services; and Patricia Martinez, Director of the Department of Children, Youth and Families—to reform the state’s dysfunctional child welfare system and to bring it into conformance with constitutional and legal norms.

Seventy one McGuireWoods’ lawyers have been named “Virginia Super Lawyers” in a recent study by Law & Politics magazine. The findings are published in a special July 2007 edition of Virginia Super Lawyers magazine and also will appear in the July issue of Richmond Magazine.

As part of the selection process, Law & Politics magazine conducts a regional survey of lawyers who have been in practice for at least five years, asking them to nominate the best attorneys they’ve personally observed in action.

In addition, a Law & Politics’ attorney-led research department reviews the nominees’ credentials based on criteria such as peer recognition and professional achievement. To ensure a diverse and well-balanced list, the research staff considers factors such as firm size, practice area and geographic location.

Following, listed by office location, are the McGuireWoods’ “Virginia Super Lawyers,” including the practice area for which they were cited:
