	Former In—House Counsel Sees Hope with New Trial Maria Tartaglia, former in-house attorney for PaineWebber in New Jersey, has successfully brought her case against her former boss to the New Jersey Supreme Court, who ruled on Tuesday that Tartaglia will have a new trial.

	General Counsel Weary of Increased Firm Rates By Erin Broadhurst Recent belt-tightening has drawn more focus to law firms' hourly rates.

			Small or Large Company? For a General Counsel, That Is the Question If you have recently finished law school, you now have the task of finding a job.
