So, Judge Lutting resigns to become GC at Boeing.
Query--when was the last time a court of appeals judge resigned for a private sector position? Or at least the last time a prominent one did? Starr went to be SG. Most of them resign when they get old. I do remember a couple of SF (NDCal) district judges doing so in the 90s.
