Last month, Michael Shelby announced that he was resigning as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas.
Yesterday, Mr. Shelby and Houston’s Fulbright & Jaworski, LLP announced that he would be joining the firm’s white collar criminal defense section. The Chronicle article on the announcement is here.
As noted in the earlier post, Mr. Shelby’s resignation is only the latest in the revolving door of U.S. Attorney resignations over the past decade from the local U.S. Attorney’s office.
