Cc: Lawrence Krauss Subject: Re: KaiserDillon look =t hi.. he says he has worked with ASU counsels before.. is not =dversarial. I have a few local suggestions but not =ure.. Here is from a law professor at ASU: "One of the problems in finding a top =aw firm in this town that can be adverse to ASU is that ASU uses most =f these firms, including those I have worked =ith or know people at and thus can recommend on =ersonal experience. For both for ethical and business reasons, =owever, these firms can't or do not want to be adverse to ASU. The =nly firm that I know something about that might be right for you and =ould take your case is Martin & Bonnett http://www.martinbonnett.com/ I know them because =hey represented a tenured ASU professor fired on what seemed to =any of us at the law school to be a trumped up charge of plagiarism. =She had plagiarized some material in her syllabus for which the =niversity committee hearing hear case recommended a =elatively light sanction. Crow rejected these findings and fired =er. (The scuttlebutt was that she was a major pain in the ass in =er department and that was the real reason she was fired.) My =ate colleague Joe Feller worked closely with this firm and arranged for =he AAUP to file an amicus brief which many members of the law =aculty, including me, signed. Crow was none to happy about this, btw. =y sense is that although the professor lost her case (courts =re reluctant to intervene in these types of case), =artin & Bonnett did a good job. So when my dean =ired a secretary assigned to me, Paul Bender, and several others =including another former dean), Paul and I contacted the firm for =ome advice. If you would like my help to find a firm in another =ity, especially LA, I should be able to offer you more =election and a more definite and knowledgeable recommendation. Jim =nbsp;" Lawrence M.
