A Message From the Editor

The state Supreme Court has elevated the burden of proof in disciplinary cases, giving lawyers a better chance at fending off accusations of misconduct. Our first item today from Aleeza Furman has details. Also, a lot is happening when it comes to filling the vacant role of US Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Names are beginning to emerge, and Senator McCormick is creating a panel to vet candidates. But many close observers say there are lots of unknowns at play - first and foremost: how assertive will President Trump be in making the selection.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor
