The first Silicon Valley lawyer to come under government scrutiny for stock options problems is getting one more reprieve before being indicted. While it has been clear for nine months that Kent Roberts, the former general counsel of McAfee Inc., is in trouble, there's been a string of delays in his case.

Two old-line institutions -- Arnold & Porter and Covington & Burling -- seem to be having trouble adjusting to Washington's new paradigm.
