Carol Lam, one of eight former U.S. attorneys across the country whose dismissals have been the subject of a great deal of recent political controversy, has been named outstanding attorney of the year by the San Diego County Bar Association: Bar association gives ex-U.S. attorney Lam 'prestigious' award.
