Dan Satterberg, the acting King County prosecuting attorney, has promised to keep his office out of politics by explicitly barring his 250-lawyer staff from contributing money or endorsements to his election campaign.
But that, in his lawyerly interpretation, doesn't prevent one of his top deputies from aggressively seeking political endorsements for Satterberg from a long list of the county's most prominent lawyers and law firms. They include many who do work -- some in the millions of dollars -- for the prosecutor's office.
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. It is no longer active.
