John Edwards launches law firm aimed at social change [View all]
Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards is hanging up his shingle again with a law firm that will include his daughter, Cate.
WRAL-TV reported the Edwards Kirby law firm will have offices in Raleigh, N.C., and Washington. Edwards, who fell from grace after covering up an extramarital affair, and his former law partner David Kirby will be partners in the new firm.
"It is a privilege to practice again, and we want to take on cases that, through litigation, change social inequalities in favor of the greater good," Edwards told WRAL in a statement. "In building Edwards Kirby, we sought a team that has championed the causes of economic and social equality in court and in hundreds of communities across the country."
Cate Edwards, the eldest daughter of the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee, and her law partner, Sharon Eubanks, will be joining the firm.
