Stephen Glass, the disgraced former journalist now fighting to be admitted to the California State Bar, has brought in new appellate lawyers to make his case to the state’s highest court. And they’re making that case aggressively, accusing the State Bar of both committing its own ethical lapses and putting Glass in an unfair catch-22.
The new additions to Glass’s appellate team are Jon Eisenberg, an Oakland lawyer who gained notoriety for winning a 2010 judgment against the U.S. government for warrantless wiretapping, and veteran Southern California appellate specialist Kent Richland. Los Angeles professional responsibility specialists Arthur and Susan Margolis remain as cocounsel.
