John Edwards Revisits His Past, Hanging Law Shingle Again

BY PETER LATTMAN AND KIM SEVERSON

Before he served as a United States senator, before he made a run at the presidency and before his political career collapsed amid a sex scandal and fraud trial, John Edwards was a trial lawyer.

Now, Mr. Edwards is returning to his roots and opening a new law practice. The plaintiffs’ firm, Edwards Kirby, reunites him with his former partner, David F. Kirby, and includes on its payroll his eldest daughter, Cate Edwards.

Good for him—let him do something he’s good at. Its going to take a great many years as a ProBono lawyer helping the poor to reach 50% of the place he once had. Maybe, just maybe, he can do a little good out there. Has he married the tramp that wrecked his marriage yet? Has he made her an honest woman?

How will he now channel dead babies for a jury with his ex wife’s ghost butting in?

Let me guess? He’s going to specialize in domestic law, right? If not, he ought to, as he should be an expert in it by now.
