Texas Law Firm Heads Toward Trial Over Ex-Judge's Romance
Texas law firm Jackson Walker didn't reach a deal ahead of a court-imposed deadline to resolve a civil case brought by the Justice Department over an ex-partner's romantic relationship with the nation's former top bankruptcy judge.
Jackson Walker and the Justice Department's Office of the U.S. Trustee concluded mediated talks without resolving litigation around the firm's involvement in the ethics scandal that forced former bankruptcy judge David R. Jones off the bench in 2023, according to court papers filed Tuesday.
