Correction, 9/23/2012, 8:44 p.m. EDT: The original version of this story incorrectly stated David Boies’s relationship with Cravath, Swaine & Moore at the time he led the federal government’s antitrust case against Microsoft. He had recently left the firm. The fifth paragraph of the story has been revised to include the correct information. We regret the error.
