"A five-member evaluation committee of lawmakers and legislative staff reviewed 61 applications for the job. After scoring each firm, it pared the list to 10. None are from Utah [of course]":
- Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld LLP - New York
- Davis Wright Tremaine LLP - Seattle
- Harrang Long Gary Rudnick P.C. - Eugene, Ore.;
- Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP - Chicago
- Jenner & Block LLP - Chicago
- Jones Day - Atlanta
- Kelley, Wolter & Scott P.A. - Minneapolis
- Lane Powell P.C. - Portland, Ore
- Sidley Austin LLP - Los Angeles
- Steptoe & Johnson LLP - Chicago
Once again, here's a mini-ruoundup of the possibly-conflicted BIG-TIME U.S. firms who got "bumped from the list," for varying, but what "should be obvious reasons":
Added bonus: Here's a handy online link to the Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory, which provides background information on U.S. lawyers and law firms, for those research oriented readers among us who might want to further check out these law firm hopefuls:
Looks like a pretty decent gig for some lucky ...or soon to be a nationally BIGTIME law firm, yes?

Why not just bribe Swallow to resign and go away with whatever this will cost the taxpayers? I'm sure he would have no problem taking that much money.
Rudi, lets hope that whatever firm is chosen, the investigation doesn't end in a total and unmitigated disaster like "The Charge of the Light Brigade" (whose picture you chose to illustrate this development)
Happy to see that you picked up on that "subtlety." ;-)
I like the law office named 'Harrangue and Long." Just the kind of harranguing the Swallow investigation needs. I think!
Uh-oh! Mike Lee worked at Sidley - scratch that one please.
