U.S. Supreme Court Tackles VMI Prayers

Heidi McNeil Staudenmaier jokes that one Indian law course in law school made her the firm's expert on Indian legal matters when she landed her first job as a business litigator in 1985.

Republican Supreme Court Justice Anthony J. Carpinello yesterday blamed a Democratic run on the polls not seen in more than four decades for his Election Day defeat and the impending loss of the Appellate Division, Third Department, seat he has held since 1996. Justice Carpinello was one of three Appellate Division justices, all Republicans, who lost their Supreme Court seats on Tuesday when New York voters overwhelmingly backed Democratic President-Elect Barack Obama and gave Democrats a majority in the state Senate for the first time in 43 years. Other Appellate Division justices losing re-election bids were Robert J. Lunn, a Fourth Department justice since 2006 who also had experience on the Second Department bench, and Second Department Justice Robert A. Lifson, who was named to that bench in 2004.N.Y. vs. Federal Provisional Remedies for Choice of Forum

Such forum choice should not be informed by instinct alone.Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection List of Ineligible Attorneys
