In an unusual move, Jim Durham, formerly the top prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Georgia, has joined a plaintiffs firm. Durham will become a name partner at Savannah’s Savage, Turner, Durham, Pinckney & Savage on Monday.
Durham became the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District in March, replacing Ed Tarver, who was one of the 46 U.S. attorneys asked to depart their posts by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Durham had held the title of first assistant U.S. attorney for the office since 2010.
