Back in March, I wrote about Zachary Warren. In 200 his first job out of college was as client relations coordinator at Dewey & LeBoeuf. In July 2009 he left the firm to attend law school. Unfortunately, his brief tenure was sufficient, years later, for the Manhattan district attorney to name him as one of four undifferentiated “Schemers” in a 106-count criminal indictment.

When he joined the firm, Warren was a generation younger than his fellow alleged “Schemers”: former chairman Steven Davis, former executive director Stephen DiCarmine and former chief financial officer Joel Sanders. Understandably, Warren would prefer not to be tried with his codefendants, so he has moved to sever his trial.
