SCOTUSblog Founder Leaving Akin Gump, But Blog May Stay with Law Firm
Tom Goldstein
SCOTUSblog founder Thomas Goldstein is leaving Akin Gump and possibly the blog that is now hosted by the law firm.
Goldstein, a Supreme Court litigator, told Above the Law of his move, citing client conflicts as a big part of the reason he is leaving. “We’re discussing the blog,” he told ATL, “but my best bet is that [Akin Gump] will remain the sponsor.” SCOTUSblog was voted the best Court Watch blog in the ABA Journal’s 4th Annual Blawg 100 in 2010.
Goldstein is returning to his former law firm, which will now be named Goldstein, Howe, & Russell. The ABA Journal named Goldstein a “legal rebel” in 2009.
