Illinois Seeks to Disbar Sidley Transcript Scammer

A three-year suspension isn't strong enough punishment for a former Sidley Austin summer associate who falsified law school grades and omitted detrimental facts on his law school application, says the head of Illinois' legal disciplinary committee. The attorney, Loren Friedman, was kicked out of med school before applying for law school, and later landed positions at Skadden and Curtis Mallet. Skadden dismissed him when he failed the Delaware bar twice and he resigned from Curtis Mallet after his fraud surfaced.
