Son’s Law Firm Job Does Not Require Recusal, Judge Determines

New York Justice Herman Cahn has declined to recuse himself from a case in which evidence spoliation allegations have been made against Greenberg Traurig, where Cahn's son is an associate. The judge said such a step would be necessary only if his son was "substantially affected" by the case. "While young associates are a vital part of the structure of large firms, they do not normally, at this point in their careers, have a substantial stake in the cases and clients that the law firms represent," Cahn said.
