...Memorial Day, Monica's parents had concluded that Ginsburg had to go. And just a few days later, they had reason to want to kick him out immediately: they were blindsided by his "open letter" to Ken Starr in California Lawyer, in which Ginsburg said Starr "may have succeeded in unmasking a sexual relationship between two consenting adults." Inasmuch as those words seem to acknowledge the possibility that there was sex between Clinton and Lewinsky, it would contradict her denials in the affidavit she presented in the Paula Jones case. If dropping hints that his client may have perjured herself...
...part of Starr's inquiry, and with Ginsburg's agreement, Monica was summoned two weeks ago to a Los Angeles federal building to provide fingerprints and handwriting samples. Sources tell TIME that by then she was so alienated from Ginsburg that she didn't want him to accompany her to the court. He did anyway. When Starr's lawyers asked her to copy specific handwriting passages--a routine practice in such sessions--she didn't turn to Ginsburg for advice, the sources say. They say she insisted first on contacting her other lawyer, Nathaniel Speights, who remains on her team...
Soon after, the family asked Martin, a prominent Washington defense lawyer and former top prosecutor, to help find a replacement for Ginsburg. Lewinsky quietly left Los Angeles and arrived in Washington to interview several candidates. One of them was Tom Green, a steely litigator who was impressed at the trenchant questions Monica directed at him a source close to Green said.

What does interest Stein is the nuts and bolts of legal practice, and few do it better. If the Lewinsky family had trouble discerning William Ginsburg's legal strategy, they should find Stein a welcome change. He is a skilled litigator who has written books on trial tactics and taught advocacy at Harvard. And he delights judges by keeping his arguments brutally simple. He's famous for answering big firms' kitchen-sink briefs with brilliantly terse responses. He once proposed a $250 fine on lawyers for citing cases from before 1950, and $1,000 for citing law-review articles. When...
...hallmark of the D.C. superlawyer. It gives Cacheris an appreciation for his adversaries' tactics. It also means he might invite foes over for tennis after a grueling case. Cacheris is known to be friendly with several prosecutors in town, though Kenneth Starr is not among them. Like William Ginsburg, Cacheris can also be chummy with reporters; unlike Ginsburg, his comments to them are more wise than wise-ass. When the New York Times reminded Cacheris last week that Ginsburg had even discussed the infant Monica Lewinsky's "polkehs" (her baby-fat thighs), Cacheris retorted, "Spare...
