AFTERNOON UPDATE Prosecutors Go Long in Closing Arguments for Ex-Rep. Jefferson In the minutes before closing arguments began this morning in the trial of former Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.), U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III offered a bit of advice to prosecutors who had suggested their presentation could last a full two hours. "My son is an entertainer," said Ellis, a judge in the Eastern District of Virginia. "And he can't hold my attention that long." The word of caution seemed to go unheeded. Senate Must Move on Legal Nominees, Leahy Says Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), speaking at the start of a committee meeting, expressed frustration that the Senate has not confirmed any nominees to the federal judiciary this year.

On Remand, Federal Judge Criticizes D.C. Circuit Ruling in Sturdza Suit There was a sense back in May that Judge Henry Kennedy Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia had been there, done that. He seemed miffed that a federal appeals court had kicked back to him a lawsuit that was first filed more than a decade ago. D.C. Bar's Litigation Section Fires Off on Fenty's Move to Cut Legal Services Funding The D.C. Bar's Litigation Section jumped into the debate over the District's budget today, issuing a statement opposing Mayor Adrian Fenty's proposed cuts to the civil legal services community. The cuts would reduce the money set aside for the legal services community by $1.8 million -- a 50 percent reduction from the funding approved by the D.C. Council this spring. FTC Delays Enforcement That Would Affect Lawyers In a victory for those who fear federal regulation of the legal profession, the Federal Trade Commission said today it is delaying enforcement of new rules designed to prevent identity theft. ABA ANNUAL MEETING COVERAGE Chicago bureau chief Lynne Marek is reporting on the American Bar Association's 2009 Annual Meeting on our daily blog. Souter, Holder, Fitzgerald, Coakley and more... Of course, we'll be there for the speeches by former Supreme Court Justice David Souter and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. But look for many more names of legal luminaries as we cover the ABA annual meeting. Trying to Kick-Start the Appeal of the ABA in 2009 It may not come up in speeches and panel discussions, but one topic likely to crop up over cocktails is the appeal of the ABA today.
