This posting has many references about the perils of governments using private legal counsel on a contingency fee basis. The references include a California court decision (County of Santa Clara v. Atlantic Richfiled Co.) prohibiting municipal governments for such practices as well as many other references and articles and blogs dealing with the question of government use of private counsel on a contingency fee basis, including an earlier post by the authors on this issue.
