High-powered law firms have provided hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of free legal work for Gov. Gavin Newsom since he took office, giving counsel on California’s death penalty moratorium and the state’s legal battle over prison health care, public records show.

 

Law firm Boies Schiller Flexner provided more than $405,000 in legal services to help Newsom with his death penalty moratorium, according to records filed with the Fair Political Practices Commission. Another firm, Robins Kaplan LLP, contributed nearly $450,000 in free representation in Coleman v. Newsom, the ongoing case that prompted California’s prison realignment.

 

Newsom reported the work as “behested payments,” donations made at an elected official’s request for charitable or governmental purposes.
