I Just Thought of a New Idea for a Charity!
Federal judge, Stephen Larson, will join Los Angeles's Girardi & Keese as a partner. Why? Well, he recently announced his pending resignation from the Los Angeles-based Central District of California because Congress failed to increase judicial salaries, which made it impossible for him to support his seven minor children. His base pay as a federal judge: $170,000. Larson wouldn't say what salary he was offered, but obviously it's more than $170,000.
Larson cited his prosecutorial experience and Girardi & Keese's variety of cases as reasons for choosing the firm.
