    LA Lawyer Who Tried to Hack Judge Should Lose License, Bar Rules

    A California judge said a lawyer should be disbarred for helping cover up a scandal involving the country’s largest utility, and later trying to hack the personal messages of a judge and lawyer involved in the case.

    Attorney Michael Jacob Libman, while pretending to represent customers, filed a collusive lawsuit against the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power that was drafted by the city’s own lawyers, and reaped $1.65 million in attorneys fees for work that he didn’t do, a California State Bar Court judge found.

    After the collusion was discovered, Libman courted Israeli intelligence group Black Cube in an attempt to hack into the emails of Judge Elihu M. Berle, who oversaw the LADWP case, and lawyer Brian Kabateck, who was appointed to replace Libman in representing the class of customers suing LADWP.

    Mike Ovitz Gets 2016 Trial Date In Pellicano Case
    After years of trench warfare in the courts, the former CAA boss now has a date to face a judge and jury. A February 29 trial date in Deadline’s film editor Anita Busch’s case against Mike Ovitz has been set by L.A. Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle. Before that there are a few more hurdles, with a motion of summary adjudication on pleading issues set for November 2 and a final status conference is scheduled for January 29. However, unless some sort of settlement is achieved, it is likely the trial will start in late February. If Ovitz loses, he could find himself paying out damages in the millions of dollars.

    First filed in May 2004, the suit launched off a June 20, 2002, incident in which a dead fish and a rose were put on the damaged front window of then-L.A. Times reporter Busch’s car with the scrawled message “Stop.
