The Chicago Sun-Times reports this morning that the prominent Chicago law firm of Winston & Strawn is charging no fees for its defense of former Governor George Ryan in his racketeering trial.
The trial began on September 19th and is expected to run into January. Winston & Strawn's chairman, former Governor James Thompson, said the firm would be lucky if it loses only ten million dollars in fees due to the trial.
The firm is using about a dozen lawyers, including star defense counsel Dan Webb, on Ryan's case.
