A Fein Fit For U.S. Attorney’s Job 
David Fein has been the co-chair of Wiggin and Dana’s white-collar defense practice group since 1997.
David B. Fein’s nomination to serve as Connecticut’s U.S. Attorney caps a long career of significant accomplishments in criminal law. When he came to New Haven’s Wiggin and Dana in 1997, Fein was the firm’s first white-collar defense partner, fresh from a two-year stint in the Clinton White House, where he was an associate counsel.

LeClairRyan co-chair Gary LeClair says he’s not worried that his firm will develop a negative image in the legal community for its aggressive recruiting of top lawyers.
Before last week, William J. McGrath Jr., managing partner of Halloran & Sage in Hartford, did not have LeClairRyan on his radar screen.

I was standing on line in a courthouse the other day, waiting for my turn through the metal detector. These waits never really bother me. Courthouses can be violent places. I appreciate the job done by judicial marshals to protect my back. But then someone waltzed by. The marshals said hello. The metal detector bleeped and belched. But no one stopped the walker. It turns out that he worked at the courthouse, in the public defender’s office.

The New Haven federal courthouse already hosted a terrorist-related trial in which a former Navy signalman was convicted of providing ship movements to a London-based radical organization.Terror Trial Alternative? 
New York doesn’t want it. So will New Haven get it? That was the buzz last week, after several news reports mentioned that the New Haven federal courthouse was being considered – along with several other locations – for the trial of the alleged mastermind behind the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal was no doubt trying to reassure residents when he said conversations with federal officials led him to conclude that it’s unlikely Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged accomplices would be tried in state.
