Are scandals creating a lawyer shortage?

October 24, 2005

BY ABDON M. PALLASCH Legal Affairs Reporter

There's been no shortage of city workers ensnared in the federal government's ongoing Hired Truck investigation.

But as more and more folks get caught up in the scandal, could there be a shortage of seasoned attorneys to represent them?

There are a limited number of criminal trial lawyers experienced at defending people in public-corruption cases in Chicago's federal court -- and many of them now are spoken for.

Some of the best were picked off early by city officials who have never been charged and hope they won't be...
