A lawyer who reportedly was laid off earlier this week at Kilpatrick Stockton apparently committed suicide this morning at the firm's Washington, D.C., office.
Mark Levy, a 59-year-old Yale Law School graduate who headed the firm's Supreme Court and appellate advocacy practice group, died this morning at the firm's office, according to an e-mailed statement from the firm's co-managing partner and a report in Legal Times. Levy also worked in the U.S. Department of Justice as a senior political appointee during the Clinton administration.
The firm doesn't address Levy's cause of death, but Legal Times indicates that he committed suicide, citing a metropolitan police report that a male committed suicide this morning in the same Washington, D.C., block. According to Above the Law, the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head.

Isn’t it ironic?
***Bringing it into DC to commit suicide is double-extra-illegal. ****
Reminds me of the line in A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM...”It’s against the law to commit suicide! The penalty is death!”
I have never heard of laying off a lawyer. Couldn’t the guy just fabricate some charges and go out and sue somebody? Kind of like Eliot Spitzer or one of many up and coming prosecuting attorneys?
