Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will be joining Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis as of counsel, according to a release today from the Nashville, Tenn.-based firm.
Gonzales, who left the Justice Department in Sept. 2007, will be joining the firms' government relations, government investigations and white collar defense teams.
Earlier this week, the Nashville-based Belmont University College of Law announced Gonzales had accepted a faculty position and would begin teaching there in January.
Before he was appointed as Attorney General by former President George W. Bush in 2005, Gonzales had served as White House Counsel since 2001. Gonzales spent about a year on the Texas Supreme Court before joining Bush in the White House.
The Legal Times’ sibling publication, Am Law Daily, has more here.
We seem to have had a run of very low quality AGs in this country and Gonzales was certainly the bottom of the barrel. His landing in Nashville and at an undistinguished law school proves my point.
