Every week, a group of lawyers files into the Justice Department's headquarters in Washington to sift through the evidence of recently filed federal murder cases and decide whether the government should seek the death penalty for the defendants. The recommendations go to Janet Reno. Congress, in passing the 1994 Federal Death Penalty Act, said the AG must sign off on the decision before any of the local U.S. attorneys can go forward with a death penalty trial. It's a decision that Reno is facing more.
Besieged Blagojevich's defense team still in flux
Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich's criminal defense team is still in flux even as a whopping 75-page federal indictment landed on him last week. The ex-governor hasn't been able to solidify his criminal defense team mainly because it has been unclear how he will pay his lawyers if the U.S. attorney's office in Chicago freezes his campaign funds, which otherwise could be used to pay his attorney fees.

Tears and Applause as Judges Perform City's First Same-Sex Weddings
As last-minute accommodations were being made, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Sherry Klein Heitler told volunteering judges that she would try to rotate the judges among the clerk's three large chapels and smaller rooms, where judges would consider waiver applications and also conduct weddings.

New York Appellate Court Rejects Hedge Fund Suit Against Porsche over VW Bid
Publication Date: 2012-12-27 Practice Area: Industry: Court: Judge: Attorneys: For plaintiff: For defendant: Case number:
A New York state appellate court has clamped down on an attempt by a group of hedge funds to get around the U.S. Supreme Court's Morrison decision. Reversing a lower court ruling, the appellate panel found that the hedge funds were barred from suing Porsche AG because neither the defendant nor most of the plaintiffs are New York state residents. The litigation was sparked by Porsche's 2008 announcement that it had amassed close to a 75 percent stake in Volkswagen, which was a disaster for hedge funds that had shorted VW's stock or made swap deals based on its share price.
