Lawyer Bonnie Kraham, who lost the first round of her challenge to a rule prohibiting political party officials and their law firms from receiving court appointments, is taking her case to the 2nd Circuit. She says her First Amendment right to political association was violated by a rule approved after her selection as co-chair of a county Democratic Committee. She also alleges that the rule has hampered her job search at firms where the attorneys want to be able to take fiduciary appointments.
