Former bankruptcy judge Robert Somma has a new job at a Boston law firm.

Somma is joining the firm of Posternak Blankstein & Lund as a senior counsel in the firm’s bankruptcy department, the Boston Globe reports.

The respected judge made headlines in February when he was arrested for drunken driving while wearing a black cocktail dress, fishnet stockings and high heels. He later pleaded no contest to driving while intoxicated and resigned from the bench, spurring a letter-writing campaign in his support.
