I have reverted changes, both in Irell & Manella and Morgan Chu articles, containing original research that links a horribly-ill-timed lawsuit with Coronavirus-19 testing. I don't find any reliable sources that explicitly support this linkage, and even the plaintiff says there is none.
Let's examine the sources that have been added:
Those last two sources likely refer to the press release by Labrador (the plaintiff), which thankfully hasn't been added anywhere as a source (to my knowlege).
Until we have reliable sources verifying that Labrador tried to stop Biomeriux from developing Covid-19 tests, it constitutes original research to add it, as well as a WP:BLP violation to do so in a biography article.
I could support a sentence something like this: "Irell & Manella / Morgan Chu represent the firm Labrador Diagnostics LLC, which initiated a controversial lawsuit against a company that had been developing tests for Covid-19." I think, though, that it would be best to wait until we know if this factoid is going to be lasting news or just a passing current event. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 02:12, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi – this page has numerous inaccuracies, primarily because it’s out of date. I would like to propose some edits, but I have a conflict of interest (I work for the firm). I’m hoping you can help guide me in the best way to make or propose edits in a way that doesn’t violate conflict-of-interest guidelines. Should I run them by the editors here? Firstly, I want to correct flat out factual inaccuracies, including who our managing partner is, the number of offices, etc. Lots of stuff like that, which shouldn’t be controversial. Secondly, I would like to flesh out the page. Currently, the Labrador lawsuit is given undue weigh (as discussed on this talk page) and I’d like to rectify that by adding to the page. Can you please advise on how I should proceed? My first priority is correcting the inaccuracies. Thank you very much for your help.

Hello - I'd like to request some additions to this page (but have a conflict of interest). Specifically, I'd like to add notable cases, notable lawyers and alumni. I pasted the proposed changes below for review. I hope I included the cites correctly, but I have a feeling I did not. I do know how to add the cites on the main page. If I'm proposing edits incorrectly, please let me know. I'm trying to learn how to navigate the talk pages, but I don't really know what I'm doing yet. I welcome any and all advice. I also propose moving the Labrador case under the notable cases section. Thank you for your help.
PROPOSED EDITS
• Irell was originally founded as a tax boutique, representing clients including
Lucille Ball,
Orson Welles and
Kirk Douglas.
[1]

• Together with Public Counsel, Irell filed a pro bono first-of-its-kind federal class action against the Compton School District on behalf of students who are victims of trauma (Peter P. v.

The suit sought to compel the district to incorporate proven practices that address the barriers to learning caused by trauma, in the same way public schools have adapted to help students who experience physical or other barriers to learning. Irell and Public Counsel defeated Compton’s motion to dismiss by convincing the district court that trauma should be a recognized disability under federal anti-discrimination statutes.

S0091 ( talk) I hope I am responding to you correctly. Thank you for your feedback. I've added additional sources and will be resubmitting for review shortly. I think I did have strong reliable sources for the vast majority of cases, but I have added more. I did not have any included for the notable attorneys, so I've added those as well. If any of the sources seem problematic, please let me know which ones. The only problem I can see is that some are behind paywalls. I tried to use non-paywall sources when possible, but unfortunately, that's not possible in many cases. All of the legal trades, which write about who represents who, are behind paywalls. Thanks again for your help and advice. It's much appreciated. KJWLA ( talk) 18:58, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
