Some lawyers and judges found themselves in big trouble this year. Strippers, bribes, phony billings and prostitutes were a few of the career cripplers for jurists and practitioners in 2010. We’ve highlighted some of the low points.
In November, Senior U.S. District Judge Jack Camp Jr. resigned from the bench in Georgia after pleading guilty to helping an exotic dancer obtain cocaine and other drugs. The dancer, who performed at the Goldrush Showbar in Atlanta, turned out to be a government informant. Camp was arrested after he bought drugs from another informant in a Publix supermarket parking lot in Atlanta. He had two handguns on the front seat of his car. Camp, 67 at the time of his arrest, was appointed to the bench in 1987.
