When considering the government's watchdogs -- officially called inspectors general -- U.S. Department of Justice Inspector General Glenn A. Fine does not walk on water, said someone who watches the watchdogs, but "he is pretty damn good."
During a year in which the Justice Department's reputation suffered one black eye after another -- largely because of politicization of a number of its functions -- Fine and the team he has assembled in the past eight years emerged as beacons of nonpartisanship and independence as they thoroughly investigated problem after problem and revealed where the department went off track.
Fine's office also recommended steps to department leaders and Congress for restoring the department's position as the nation's pre-eminent law enforcement agency.
Fine is The National Law Journal's lawyer of the year for his work in ensuring the department's fulfillment of its motto: "who prosecutes on behalf of justice."

Kinda cute too. He's our next cover boy.
So many choices of good lawyers. Now I would have picked Fitz and Randall because they will always be my faverite every year. Now Eric Holder is looking good on my list too. I'm very picky when it comes to the number one choice. Law is the foundation of our country without it there's chaos and lawlessness. I look forward to the new names of lawyers who put their mark for Justice. I hope AG Lisa Madigan goes to Law school this year and learns what the Laws of the United States are, or just ask Fitz or Randall before making a fool of herself yet again.
