New York Times: According to court officials, there are no records that indicate David Harleston, who serves as general counsel for Al Jazeera America, is licensed to practice law in New York State, where the company has its headquarters. He has also not been admitted in any other jurisdiction, according to research. After an inquiry, Al Jazeera America said that it had suspended Harleston and hired the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom to conduct an investigation.
