Lawyers in the News
December 16th, 2008 by Shalini
The Rod Blagojevich scandal dominates this week’s Lawyers in the News. Rod, himself, is an attorney – a graduate of the Pepperdine University School of Law and a former Cook County Prosecutor.
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald was named one of People Magazine’s Sexies Men Alive in 2005. His fame is now perhaps greater as the prosecutor who filed an indictment last week against Blagojevich for his attempts to sell the Illinois Senate seat vacated by President-Elect Obama.
Ed Ganson, a lawyer best known for helping to secure an acquittal for R. Kelly in his child pornography trial, has been retaine dby Blagojevich to defend him both in the federal prosecuting and in his impeachment trial.
