They will have to start the process all over again to fill Markell's spot. Most likely will have to bring in visiting judges to help while that process is unfolding.

Yeah its a steady gig without billables and dealing with pesky clients, but anyone competent enough to do it would likely be taking a significant pay cut. Also, you have to deal with some of the bozos doing consumer practice or claiming to do Chapter 11s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637960526696603209.post-90042614161775335252013-03-06T08:39:25.916-08:002013-03-06T08:39:25.916-08:00Candice CarlyonCandice CarlyonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
