While it has been tragic for the university and for Sandusky victims, the case has been a bonanza for law firms. Of the nearly quarter billion shelled out so far, at least $112 million has gone to compensate lawyers, consultants and others engaged to handle the myriad lawsuits, internal investigations, and criminal probes. Among the prominent firms representing the university are Saul Ewing and White and Williams in Center City, and Reed Smith, a Pittsburgh-founded firm with a global presence.
