As officials in Washington spar over the recent firings of eight U.S. Attorneys, legislators and selection committees are interviewing candidates to fill positions that could last only about one year -- a condition that is limiting the field.The article says the three candidates in the Western District of Washington are interim U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sullivan, former U.S. Rep. Rick White, and Michael Vaska, a litigation partner at Foster Pepper.
The candidates -- including federal prosecutors, former judges and private attorneys -- are vying for posts that, in addition to the unusually brief tenure, carry the daunting task of restoring order to offices thrown into disarray by the controversial firings.
From 2005 to 2015 this blog presented news items and resources relating to trial advocacy and the legal system, with a focus on Washington State. It was developed to support the Trial Advocacy Program at the University of Washington School of Law, but broadened to include appellate practice, the courts, access to justice, and related topics.
