June Lawyer of the Month: Score One For The Practice Of Law
So far, our Lawyers of the Month have been a motley crew. Dying helps. So does being incredibly stupid.

A Closer Look at Paul Bergrin, Former Federal Prosecutor Accused of Murder-for-Hire
Paul Bergrin, the New Jersey federal prosecutor turned notorious criminal defense attorney, just may be the most scandalous alumnus of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Newark.

More About Reema Bajaj, the Lawyer Accused of Prostitution

It's Hard Out Here For... A Lawyer Accused of Prostitution

Former Federal Judge, Caught in Drug and Prostitution Scandal, Cites Brain Damage and Depression
It was quite shocking last October when word first surfaced that then-federal judge Jack Camp, at the time a senior judge for the Northern District of Georgia (Atlanta), might have indulged in cocaine, marijuana, and sex with a prostitute. The charges were hard to believe, especially given Judge Camp’s judicial office. But, as it turned […] -
