Prof. Painter's Affidavit Cited by 3M in Argument before Court of Appeals

Professor Richard Painter's affidavit urging the Court to uphold a trial court's order that Covington & Burling be disqualified from representing the State of Minnesota in suing 3M was cited by 3M in oral arguments before the Minnesota Court of Appeals. The contested matter is an environmental suit that the trial court found was substantially related to Covington's prior representation of 3M.
