In the 1990 movie Kindergarten Cop, Arnold Schwarzenegger famously asked, “Who is your daddy, and what does he do?“
For a tight-knit cadre of prominent securities lawyers, a recent article suggests, the answer to that question is clear: former federal judge Stanley Sporkin.
“Colleagues in the securities bar have observed the phenomenon of ‘Sporkin’s kids’ referring to the many influential lawyers who worked under Stanley Sporkin during his long and distinguished tenure at the Securities and Exchange Commission,” William Henderson, a professor at Indiana University Maurer School of Law, wrote in a blog posted on The Legal White Board on Friday.
