Former acting U.S. Attorney General Peter Keisler will rejoin Sidley Austin’s Washington, D.C., office next month as a partner in the firm’s appellate practice. President Bush appointed Keisler as acting AG in September, after Alberto Gonzales resigned.
Keisler left Sidley in 2002 to join the Department of Justice. He spent most of his time there as assistant attorney general for the Civil Division. Keisler has been a controversial figure in the Bush Administration. He was nominated to serve as head of the Civil Division in June 2006. Senate Democrats voiced concern at the time over the rapidity with which Keisler’s nomination proceeded to a hearing.
