Feud Between Rival Recruiters Heads for Fifth Circuit

They were once good friends and colleagues. They are both well-known legal recruiters. But in three weeks, they will be squaring off at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in what has become a long and bitter battle of attrition.

The question before the court is whether an Austin federal judge abused his discretion by enjoining a Hong Kong legal action. But perhaps the more interesting question is how the underlying lawsuit between Robert Kinney and Evan Jowers got so nasty in the first place.
