Davis, Polk , and Wardwell: weren't they the law firm who represented the Board of Education in that wacky case "Brown VS Board of Education?

Methinks that Wm. Shakespeare, Esq., was right in Henry VI, Part 2 | Act IV, Scene 2...

I thank you, good people: there shall be no money;
all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will
apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree
like brothers and worship me their lord.

CADE
Nay, that I mean to do. Is not this a lamentable
thing, that of the skin of an innocent lamb should
be made parchment? that parchment, being scribbled
o'er, should undo a man? Some say the bee stings:
but I say, 'tis the bee's wax; for I did but seal
once to a thing, and I was never mine own man
since. How now! who's there?
