DJ's top 100

Today's DJ Top 100 Lawyers supplement incudes Jon Eisenberg, focusing on his "swan song as a practitioner ... accusing the 3rd District Court of Appeal of massive, unconstitutional delays":

More than 40 years ago, Eisenberg embarked on a legal career that would take him deeply into California’s appellate system. For 14 years, he worked as staff attorney on the 1st District Court of Appeal. He wrote the Rutter Group’s practice guide on civil appeals and writs, which he has updated annually since 1989. He argued a dozen state Supreme Court cases and more than 100 matters in state and federal appellate courts.
“On the verge of retirement, I’m retaliation-proof,” he said. “Nobody else was going to do this.” In an August brief he argued that he has public interest standing to pursue the matter because other attorneys representing parties in the cases at issue feel pressured to stay quiet for fear of losing work or harming their clients.

Also listed of appellate note, some of the usual suspects: GDC's Ted Boutrous and Theane Evangelis, Jeffrey Fisher, Mira Hashmall, Norm Pine, and Peter Stris.
