After nine months out of the spotlight, former Dewey & LeBoeuf executive director Stephen DiCarmine is set to make an appearance in court next week, the Am Law Daily reported today. DiCarmine—a non-practicing lawyer who held one of the most powerful positions at the now-bankrupt firm—must be available for questioning at a February 27 hearing scheduled to consider Dewey's chapter 11 liquidation plan, Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn ruled yesterday. Judge Glenn's decision came in response to an objection to the chapter 11 plan filed late last week by former Dewey partners Andrew Fawbush and Elizabeth Sandza, who argue that the plan should not be confirmed because it does not pass the "good faith" requirement. If the plan is confirmed, the bankruptcy will be taken over by a pair of liquidation trustees whose mission will be to maximize returns to creditors who say they are owed some $600 million.
