About That Furniture CIA Lawyer Courtney Elwood Retained From Kellogg Hansen
Financial disclosure reports can be fairly routine. A lawyer leaving a firm reveals annual compensation, a list of clients who received legal services, and maybe some investments. But that wasn't all Courtney Elwood, now general counsel to the CIA, put in her report recently. She noted something else: office furniture that she planned to retain from her former firm Kellogg Hansen.

Financial disclosure reports are fairly routine. A lawyer leaving private practice reveals annual compensation, a list of clients who received legal services, and maybe some investments.
Courtney Elwood, a former partner at Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick who's now general counsel to the CIA, reported the $2.9 million in income she received last year up to her appointment. She disclosed clients—including the University of Michigan and National Education Association. And, yes, investments.
But that's not all. Elwood, a Kellogg Hansen lawyer since 2007, went an extra mile to report something else that others who've made the move from law firm to government service might overlook, or perhaps not need to disclose: office furniture.
