The Milberg Weiss Scandal

Professor Bainbridge talks about Walter Olson's op-ed in this morning's WSJ, with other links to the story. In essence, the top class-action law firm in the country seems to have gotten caught up in a kickback scheme. I have to admit, it's pretty amusing seeing the king of lawsuits receive a taste of its own medicine. This could very well be the making of the next Arthur Andersen. In fact, the firm was already fired from its first case as a result of the indictment.

And if that weren't enough, Milberg Weiss has been a major contributor to Democratic politicians, including Hillary Rodham and John Kerry. Hey, if receiving donations from Jack Abramoff clients is tantamount to corruption, then this is potentially corruption times two.

I have to admit, there will be quite a bit of schaudenfraude here. Let's see if the MSM picks up on it.
