Harris Getting Reinforcements for Gang Unit
A bad week for the U.S. attorney's office turned into a good one for San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris. Anthony Brass, who had left the DA's office in 2002 to work for U.S. Attorney Kevin Ryan, announced Friday he is stepping down as a federal prosecutor to go after gangs for Harris.

Although legal precedents and foreign policy ramifications stand in the way, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., says it is time to set new precedents for the emerging global economy.The Court vacated the honest services convictions of the Enron and Hollinger execs but remanded their cases to the circuit courts to determine if other parts of their convictions can stand. We've got predictions from Skilling counsel Dan Petrocelli at O'Melveny and Black counsel Miguel Estrada at Gibson--and an opposing take from Black's prosecutor, Eric Sussman, who's now at Kaye Scholer.
Latham to Open Two Offices in Spain
Few U.S. law firms have entered the Spanish legal market, but Latham & Watkins is changing that. The firm announced Monday that it will open offices in Madrid and Barcelona on Jan. 1.
