What is former Andersen counsel Nancy Temple doing now?
The US Supreme Court held yesterday, 9-0, that the conviction of Andersen was
based on an imperfect jury charge in the federal district court.

Nancy Temple was Andersen in-house counsel in October 2001 at the
beginning of the Enron implosion.

Is Temple still at the slimmed down Andersen?
If not, where did Nancy Temple's career take her to now?

Hello grthumongous-ga,

The papers reporting on the Supreme Court?s decision on Arthur
Andersen have commented on the loss of thousands of jobs by employees
who had nothing to do with the Enron case and in passing made a brief
reference to the high profile players. The report on Nancy Temple is
that she ?practices law in Chicago, no longer at a big firm.?

I was unable to turn up any additional information about Nancy
Temple?s current status. I browsed the many blogs commenting on the
case thinking that non-newspaper sources might have some additional
information without any success. This is not surprising because I?m
sure that Ms. Temple is taking every precaution to protect her
privacy. Perhaps there will be additional information available about
her current doings in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision. I
suggest that you monitor the reporting on the case to see if anything
turns up.

All the best.

Other top Andersen executives also moved on. Joseph Berardino, the
Andersen CEO who resigned in March 2002, now works at a private equity
firm in New York. Nancy Temple, the former Andersen staff counsel who
e-mailed the Houston office to remind auditors of the firm's document
destruction and retention policy, practices law in Chicago.

Andersen Judge Dismisses Nancy Temple, Others, From Lawsuit 

U.S. District Court Judge Melinda Harmon has released Andersen lawyer
Nancy Temple and four other former Andersen partners from the class
action lawsuit pending against the former Big Five firm. Nancy Temple
is the lawyer whose in-house memo was instrumental in the downfall of
the firm.

Judge Harmon stated she released Ms. Temple and the others from the
suit because plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit did not adequately
specify what the individual defendants did wrong. Judge Harmon
referred to allegations against the individual partners as "fatally
vague and conclusory."

She's not listed on Martindale-Hubbel, so she's probably not
practicing law anymore.
