U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan and dozens of lawyers who argue at the U.S. Supreme Court turned out Thursday to celebrate the career of newly retired deputy U.S. Solicitor General Michael Dreeben, who argued more than 100 cases before the court and aided special counsel Robert Mueller III in his Trump investigation.

Known as a straightforward, no-nonsense expert on federal criminal law, Dreeben displayed his lighter side at the party, which took place at a downtown Washington bar called Dirty Habit, a name that is difficult to imagine being associated with Dreeben.

When asked what his next chapter will be, the 65-year-old Dreeben smiled and said, “I’m looking for a job. Do you have one?” He did not elaborate, but friends said he is casting a wide net with law firms and other possible options.
