Some top gun public interest lawyers have new jobs. From the Public Citizen Law and Policy blog:

On July 1, 2009, Allison Zieve became the new director of Public Citizen Litigation Group. Allison replaces Brian Wolfman, who had been with the group for nineteen years, five of them as its director. Brian moves on to the faculty of Georgetown University Law Center, where he will be co-director of the Institute for Public Representation clinic (a position recently vacated by David Vladeck, the new head of consumer protection at the FTC and himself a Public Citizen attorney for many years). Allison's practice at the Litigation Group has focused on health and safety matters, federal preemption, open government, class action fairness, due process issues, and the first amendment.
