Two of America’s most prestigious law firms—Kirkland & Ellis and Skadden—have agreed to cough up $2 million to fund ethics and professionalism instruction at Georgia law schools.
U.S. District Judge Marc T. Treadwell effectively called two of their partners liars, finding that Richard Bernardo and Geoffrey Wyatt made “false representations” in what he described as “a widespread, long-running cover-up.”
There’s delicious irony in who Treadwell is, who these lawyers are, and how he caught them.
