Musical Chairs: Kathy Ruemmler from Latham Back to DOJ

Musical Chairs: Last Call To Cash In Before The Election
The problem with being a government lawyer is that you don’t have a lot of control over which “government” you are working for. Even if you have a non-partisan, non-patronage position, anytime a new administration takes power there is the possibility of turmoil. Like the swallows of Capistrano, now is the season we expect public […] - Sponsored

'Tis Official: Fred Fielding Is In the House
We previously wrote about President Bush’s selection of Fred Fielding as his new White House counsel. Our coverage was based on a pre-announcement scoop by Time, not an actual announcement from the White House. Just to close the loop on this, the rumor was correct: Fielding’s selection is now official. Here’s the (predictably bland) White […] -

Congratulations to the Fab Fifty: A Constellation of Young Legal Superstars
We love lists: the Forbes 400, the U.S. News college and law school rankings, or Washingtonian magazine’s list of 40 top lawyers under 40. We love lawyers — which is good, since we spend all day writing about them. And we love fabulous things. So you can imagine our delight upon seeing this feature from […] -

Congratulations to Ken Wainstein!
Okay, so he’s no Alice Fisher — the ball-busting, badass blonde, recently confirmed to head the DOJ’s Criminal Division, who has white-collar criminals shaking in their boots. But he’s still a highly regarded attorney — and pretty cute, too. So ATL sends its congratulations to Kenneth L. Wainstein, just confirmed by the Senate as assistant […] -
