Among the 10,000 lawyers in Atlanta for the American Bar Association's annual meeting are 15 who can make or break one's chance to become a federal judge. This group will meet this week, in private, at a time and place the chairman declines to reveal. Despite such secrecy, this panel's impact has a very public effect on federal courts from coast to coast. A rating of "not qualified" from the ABA's Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary can-and has-nipped potential nominations in the bud.
