The revolving door between government service and the private sector creates a lot of mischief. When the senior leadership of the FDA pass in and out of C-suite gigs in biopharma, it's a problem. But the revolving door has benefits too. Arguably the most impactful and societally beneficial instance is when criminal defense lawyers become prosecutors. Wielding the awesome power of the government can harden a person, and periodically injecting that institution with voices who've actually been there with a client targeted by the government makes the criminal justice system stronger. Because Jack McCoy is a horrible fascist.
The firm, now known as Krieger Lewin LLP, has managed an impressive run of placements with the government over its seven years of existence. Kim becomes the eighth Krieger Lewin alum to move into the SDNY office over the life of the firm, cementing a reputation as a proving ground for attorneys moving on to elite government positions.
