The former chief legal officer at collapsed investment bank Lehman Brothers jumped to a new law firm and taught a class this summer at Columbia Business School.

Thomas Russo is a senior counsel at law firm Patton Boggs, the Wall Street Journal reports. His Columbia class was called “Credit Crisis: As Seen Through Other Lenses.” He is one of several Wall Street executives who are taking teaching jobs, according to the New York Times.

Russo is one of nine Lehman executives named in a suit by the New Jersey Attorney General that claims more than $100 million in losses in the state’s pension funds, according to the Wall Street Journal.
