Brokeback Lawfirm: If At First You Don't Succeed
We've only skimmed Sullivan & Cromwell's latest Motion to Dismiss, filed just yesterday in the (in)famous case of Charney v. Sullivan & Cromwell. We haven't had the chance to write up detailed thoughts on it.
Fortunately, others have. Like Professor Art Leonard, whose comprehensive analysis -- including a helpful history of this tortured case -- appears here.
And Lavi Soloway, who has taken the lead on the latest Charney developments. You can access his post, collecting some of the juiciest excerpts from the motion, by clicking here.
We did obtain comment on the S&C motion from Charney's lawyers. David Holland, an attorney who works with Michael Kennedy on the case, had this to say:
"Apparently, Sullivan & Cromwell not only represented the Nazis, but seem to have adopted Dr. Mengele's techniques to torture the facts and law of this case."
HA. Did we mention how much we enjoy covering this case?
P.S. We have some Charney v. S&C reader polls that remain open. Click here and here to vote.

the mengele reference is complete overkill
The Mengele reference offends me. Deeply. Any remaining moral high ground is lost.
We represented the Nazis and are damn proud of it!!! We just can't understand why someone would sue us for being insensitive!
Gallion OUT!
Why the hell should we check this blog if you're going to let Soloway and Leonard do all the work?
1. It's called link aggregation. That's like saying why should we check Drudge or How Appealing if they're going to let the New York Times do all the work.
2. Lat did do work - he got the "Dr. Mengele" comment from Charney's lawyers.
3. I don't come to ATL for substantive legal analysis. So I don't mind if Lat simply links to the legal analysis of others.
I gotta agree with the above poster. The Mengel comment is just out of line.
The Mengel comment, by one of Charney's own lawyers, reflects what Charney and his case are about: extortion and lies.
