“Who really shot JFK?” “What’s in Area 51?” and “What mysterious conflict kept Jim Pooley from joining Morrison & Foerster for more than a year?”

These are the questions that have haunted us through the ages. Or at least since the early days of 2006 when Pooley and his crew of IP lawyers made a big splash announcing they were leaving Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy for MoFo, only to stumble on an unforeseen conflict and be forced to wait a long time and form their own firm before finally consummating the lateral move.
