Correction, 7/29/14, 9:38 a.m. EST: An earlier version of this story misstated the name of the federal district judge handling the Howrey adversary proceeding. The correct name is U.S. District Judge Saundra Armstrong. The story has been updated accordingly. We regret the error.
After California and New York courts in June and July tossed out so-called unfinished business claims by trustees of failed firms against former partners and the firms they fled to, all eyes are now fixed on the outcome of a hearing on Tuesday in the one remaining large firm bankruptcy where such claims are still being fought: the Howrey Chapter 11 proceeding in San Francisco.
