"Motor City man," the in-house counsel profile of BorgWarner Inc. General Counsel John Gasparovic published in the Oct. 26 NLJ, misidentified the firm that handles the company's insurance coverage. The correct firm is Gilbert LLC of Washington.

In the Diversity section published on Oct. 19, a law firm was incorrectly omitted from the "Minority Lawyers in D.C." chart, ranking the top law offices by racial diversity from the 2009 Legal Times 150 survey. The Washington office of Venable should have been No. 29 on the chart: With a total of 37.8 minority lawyers, it is 17.29% minority.

A Voir Dire item, "Ouch!," in the Sept. 28 edition of The National Law Journal incorrectly reported the basis for the rejection of a motion in a tort action. New York state trial judge Charles Markey said the motion lacked the attorney's signature and an affidavit by the plaintiff of her injuries. Although the judge complained that the motion was stapled negligently and injured court personnel, that was not the basis for his ruling.
A D.C. Moves item in the Oct. 5 edition misreported biographical details about Stephen Gardner, now a partner at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips. Gardner is 60 years old, and he was a partner at his former firm, McKenna Long & Aldridge.
An Inadmissible item, "Lanny Davis makes leap to McDermott," in the Oct. 5 edition incorrectly described Lanny Davis and Eileen O'Connor as leading the legal, strategic and crisis management practice of their former firm, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. Davis co-chaired the practice, while O'Connor was a lawyer in the group.
The Plaintiffs' Hot List published on Oct. 5 misidentified the Seeger Weiss attorneys who prosecuted In re New Jersey Vioxx Litig. In addition to Christopher Seeger, they were David Buchanan, Diogenes Kekatos, Jeffrey Grand and James O'Brien. In the listing for Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, attorney Nancy L. Fineman's name was misspelled.
CORRECTIONS
In the Sept. 14 article, "Oil Dependent," the title of James Rishwain was incorrect. He is chair of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman.
The Sept. 7 article, "The recession makes externships a sweeter deal for students," misreported the American Bar Association's stance on externships at law firms. An ABA spokeswoman said that bar rules prohibit schools from giving course credit to students who also receive pay for outside study. Students may either receive credit or pay for outside study programs, but not both.
CORRECTIONS
An Aug. 3 article, "Iraq slow to pay the invoice," misstated the difference between two contractor lawsuits against the government of Iraq. The article should have said that a Bulgarian company was not able to pursue its suit in the United States because a judge found that its payment arrangement with Iraq had only a tangential connection to the United States. A Spanish company was able to keep jurisdiction in the United States because Iraq had agreed to pay it through a U.S. bank.
Hawaiian judicial officials cited in an Aug. 17 story, "The nation's judges are sharing in the pain," gave an inaccurate description of budget cutbacks for that state's judges. Under a law passed this year, Hawaii's judges were required to take a 5% pay cut effective on July 1.
Also in the Aug. 17 issue, the article "For litigators, a different kind of recession" misstated the ownership of consulting firm Altman Weil. The National Law Journal's parent company purchased Altman's publications arm, which is now Incisive Legal Intelligence, not the entire company.
