After more than six years of quiet obsession over the attorneys and other legal pros who appear on The Bachelor and Bachelorette, Pro Say brings you an exclusive interview with one such contestant. We’re joined this week by Mayer Brown associate James Pierce, who was one of roughly two dozen suitors vying for the affections of Charity Lawson on the most recent season of the Bachelorette. James dishes on what his BigLaw bosses thought of his detour into reality television, how his legal training informed his time on the show, and what his life has been like since returning to the real world. Also this week, the ABA hits back against attacks on law firm diversity programs, and 3M settles the largest mass tort litigation in U.S. history for $6 billion, while also advancing a $12.5 billion settlement in another case….all on the same day.
