In the United States the final week of July marks another big step in the destiny of many future attorneys. Law students all over America are currently preparing for the bar exam.

In many ways, crime provides some rather interesting stories. But this one is quite unusual, even so.
Let's say someone approached you to represent him or her in a case and hired you. Further, let's assume that you were too busy to actually do anything and the court entered a bunch of sanctions, terminating the case and entering a $730,466 default judgment against your client.
One wonders why the World Court bothers. While there are people like Robert Mugabe starving and assassinating people in their countries, the World Court (the International Criminal Court, as it is officially known) has decided that five murderers deserve its full efforts to save them from punishment.
Usually, when people lose cases at the Supreme Court, they give in. After all, if the court didn't like what you did the first time, they most likely won't appreciate having to slap you down again.
Question:I am seriously contemplating leaving my firm and am just beginning the search process. Now we are into ''vacation season,'' and I don't know whether to take my vacation as planned or use the time for potential interviews in the future. And how will it look if I take a vacation and then give notice a few weeks later?
There are lots of lawsuits in the world, and lots that are, shall we say, less than likely to succeed. Then there are those that are not likely to succeed and are rather eye-opening.

It is an unfortunate fact of our current times: tighter lending markets. Yes, the halcyon days of practically instant loans on generous terms are gone, at least until the next economic boom.
On July 2, 2008, the city of Seattle, Washington, lost its National Basketball franchise — the Seattle SuperSonics — to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This has been in the works for a long time but finally became official on July 2 when the city of Seattle and the owners of the Sonics settled a lawsuit regarding the term of the lease on the local basketball arena, Key...
You may remember Samuel Israel III. He's the former hedge fund CEO who got convicted on fraud charges for disappearing with hundreds of millions of his clients' money. He was then sentenced to 20 years in the clink for his misdeeds, but the judge let him out on bail until he was to report to jail.

On Thursday the Supreme Court finished its term, and the ruling that got the big publicity was the long-awaited decision in Heller v. District of Columbia, the Second Amendment case. The court hadn't touched the Second Amendment for a long time, and this was the first decision on the meaning of the Second Amendment in Supreme Court history.
