Talk:Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr

GA failed
I have failed the article for not meeting the standards of the GA criteria. All of the current outside the links need to be converted to appropriate inline citations. Look to other passed GA/FAs for examples on how to do this. You can also find templates of inline citations at Citation templates. The article appears to be broad, but could use some expansion on some of its sections. For example: on the notable attorneys section, perhaps mention why they are notable or the standards for deeming them notable. Some of the attorneys do not have articles, so it could be difficult to assert their inclusion within this section if nothing is said about them. Perhaps you can add a section about the financial status of the firm as well, as in the infobox you have $900 million in revenue. It would be better for the article to expand on this. For images, all you have is a logo which does not have a fair use rationale (which is a requirement for GA). If possible take a picture of one of the offices or see if you can find an image online with written permission for its use in the article. This article has a good start but fix these issues and look over the GA criteria before renominating again. If you have any questions about this review, please contact me on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Nehrams2020 00:22, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Guantanamo Bay attorneys
It would be good to include the names of the WilmerHale GTMO attorneys while the topic is still in the news. Melissa Hoffer is the only one we ever had listed. She's no longer with WilmerHale but she had apparently left only very recently.

If anyone has the rest of the names, please add it here, or in the article. They don't need to be linked if they're not public figures, or otherwise notable, but we should list them all eventually. -- Randy2063 00:31, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The list so far:
 * Melissa Hoffer
 * Stephen Oleskey
 * Rob Kirsch
 * Mark C. Fleming
 * Lynne Campbell Soutter
 * Lauren Brunswick
 * more names (although not necessarily for the Algerian Six):
 * Jon Connolly
 * Douglas Curtis
 * Cynthia Garron
 * Jeffrey Gleason
 * Miranda Hooker
 * John Rothermich
 * Robert Trenchard
 * Elizabeth A. Wilson
 * -- Randy2063 01:24, 21 August 2007 (UTC)


 * If anyone has others, they should also go into the main Gitmo lawyers article.

Apparent contradiction in A Civil Action section
Since defendant Beatrice Foods lost the case (according to other relevant Wiki articles like "A Civil Action"), the statement "Jerome Facher successfully represented Beatrice Foods" would appear to be incorrect. But since it also seems that Beatrice was initially acquitted and only later found responsible as well, maybe the statement is correct after all? Just passing through, but in any case, the section appears contradictory as written and should be modified.Satkomuni (talk) 03:28, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Notable Attorneys
Not for nothing, but shouldn't Mr. Wilmer be included in the list of notable attorneys from Wilmer Cutler Pickering? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.102.191.148 (talk) 14:42, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Request edit on 7 March 2023
Georgia Voter Suppression WilmerHale was among the coalition of civil rights groups and law firms that filed a federal lawsuit challenging the legality of S.B. 202, a law that introduced new voter restrictions in Georgia following the 2020 presidential election. The lawsuit alleges that the new provisions, which would disproportionately affect people of color, violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and infringes on Georgians’ rights under the First, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments.
