An Extraordinary Rebuke Starts Obscure Process for K&S Partner, Opponent

Last year, just 17 cases were sent to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' Committee on Lawyer Qualifications and Conduct -- essentially its own bar discipline arm -- and most were fairly innocuous cases of missed deadlines and local rule violations. But the federal appeals panel's disciplinary referral against one Ga. firm's partner and his opposing counsel plunges the two into an obscure policing process over more than just spilled milk.

What Questions Await DOJ's No. 2 Candidate?

Paul McNulty took the post of U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia only three days after the 9/11 attacks, and without having ever tried a case.
