Gore Lawyer Boies Sued for Sex Bias David Boies, the attorney who helped Al Gore try to steal the presidential election, "now finds himself on the defense against two lawyers who say his Armonk [N.Y.] firm sexually discriminated against them, placing them on lower paying, non-partnership tracks because they are women," the Journal News reported today. Rachel Baird and Bonnie Porter, who quit Boies, Schiller and Flexner LLP last year, sued Tuesday for unspecified damages. "The non-partnership track, which includes about seven associate attorneys, was exclusively female before Baird, 39, and Porter, 46, quit.
