In case you haven't heard the news, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, a Democrat, is likely to resign over allegations he
It sounds like the start of a bad joke (yet again). Lawyer decides to go swimming in the ocean, meets shark, which leaves him alone due to ''professional courtesy.'' Alas, poor Markus Groh may have believed the rumors. Groh was an attorney from Austria, who apparently decided to embrace his inner shark by, well, swimming with the sharks.
Question:I am contemplating a move to California but have heard that most law firms require attorneys to be members of the California bar. Is this true? If so, why do law firms have this requirement?
Swearing is an unfortunate habit some people fall into. It's probably never a good idea to curse the judge out in court, and indeed, most lawyers avoid that as well as other swearing in open court. But what about depositions? Can you curse in them?
Cases can drag on for a while. The majestic arm of justice, while awe inspiring (to some), may grind exceedingly small, but it can also grind exceedingly slow. Just ask the Public Service Alliance of Canada, which has been litigating the same case for 25 years now. The kicker? It might not be over yet.
There was yet another high-profile layoff at one of the Big Law firms recently, with Dechert, LLP, announcing that it was laying off 13 associates. Predictably, this was in its real estate and finance departments.
The expired eavesdropping law may be renewed if a compromise can be reached between the House and the Senate. The bill, which is backed by President Bush, would provide ''retroactive legal immunity to the companies that helped the government wiretap U.S. computer and phone lines after the Sept. 11 attacks without clearance from a secret court,'' says the Associated Press.
Deal or No Deal is a popular game show on NBC. But now it might cost NBC millions for illegal gambling.
Rejoice, dog owners of Connecticut! In the eternal war over which is better, cats or dogs, there's a bit more equality. Now a cat owner can be sued for the injuries his or her cat causes...under certain circumstances. But those circumstances are wider than before.
If you ever practice in front of Judge Richard Matsch in the U.S. District Court for Colorado, I'd advise you to be on your best behavior. That's a lesson two lawyers for McDermott, Will & Emery would have been well advised to heed.
Politics is a dirty, dirty business sometimes, leading to rants and hard feelings. Sometimes, however, it can go just a tad too far. They say politics is not a subject to be discussed in polite company, along with religion, and this story is an example of why.
Most people do not like junk mail, to put it mildly. Those flyers, credit card offers, and sweepstakes come-ons all waste resources and our time as we flip through and throw them away.
This story is out of this world — literally. There's this town, Canneto di Caronia, in northern Sicily, which has had a series of unusual fires recently. Apparently things like TVs, phones, and other devices have been bursting into flames.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued five opinions, thus setting off a scurry of work by attorneys.
For many law school graduates, their first taste of practicing law comes from working as an associate at a law firm. For those people who have opted to join a large firm, the first year of practice is probably filled with both excitement and stress. There are many wonderful perks that come with being an associate at a big firm (prestige, high salary, etc.). At the same...
Let's say you are a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, as well as the Ghandi Peace Award. That means you should be pretty peaceful, correct? Well, not according to United States District Judge Don Svet in Albuquerque, who sentenced Roman Catholic priest John Dear to 40 hours of community service and $510 in fines for a war protest.
Fidel Castro announced his resignation Monday, after 49 years of rule. This is being widely hailed as good news for the people of Cuba and for the surrounding region, though one suspects Hugo Chavez is not very happy this morning.
Birthday parties are fun, happy events full of happy kids (we hope) and smiling parents. They can be even more fun if there's live entertainment. If the live entertainment is live monkeys, however...well, no doubt you can see where this is going.
With a title like that, you'd expect this one to be a doozy. And it is. Seems that for a while now, there's been a guitar-strummin', rootin'-tootin', hat, boots, and brief-wearin' cowboy in New York City's Times Square. He goes by the name ''Naked Cowboy,'' as he only wears his briefs, his boots, and his cowboy hat. Not sure how well he handles winter, but hey, whatever...
Like an oncoming wave of Orcs, New Line Cinema's blockbuster movie franchise The Lord of the Rings made a lot of money. Its earnings have allegedly totaled almost $6 billion so far — which will buy you a couple of nice swords, to say the least. You would think that the original author would receive some of that money, but now the Tolkien Trust, which is J.R.R. Tolkien's...
