Since September, we've been following the efforts of disgraced journalist Stephen Glass to gain admission to the bar -- and following the energetic efforts of the State Bar of California to keep him out. The case has attracted lots of attention and this article from American Lawyer Media gives the lowdown on the high-powered appellate lawyers, Jon Eisenberg and Kent Richland, on Glass's side. (Glass's trial counsel, Arthur and Susan Margolis, remain very much on Glass's team.) An excerpt from Glass's brief:
"Here is the [admission] committee's logic." [] Glass should not be admitted to the practice of law until he re-establishes himself in journalism; Glass can never re-establish himself in journalism; therefore Glass should never be admitted to the practice of law. Joseph Heller would smile."
