Did End of Missouri Malpractice Case Feed Dewey's Money Woes?

The answer to that question is hard to come by given that just as the firm dove into what proved to be its death spiral, it settled the $3 billion lawsuit brought by Show Me State regulators for a sum that remains shrouded in secrecy.

Judge Finds Method-of-Treatment Patent Invalid

A high-stakes patent case in New York may sharply curtail the use of a controversial type of biotech patent, significantly affecting the research, sales and patent rights of universities, biotechnology firms and drug companies. The University of Rochester alleges that several drug giants' manufacture and sale of two best-selling painkillers, Celebrex and Bextra, infringes upon the university's patented pathway to reduce pain.

Negligence in the Air: International Greenhouse Gas Emissions Litigation

John Fellas, a partner at Hughes Hubbard & Reed, writes that while both Comer v. Murphy Oil USA and Connecticut v. Am. Elec. Power Co. concern claims by U.S. plaintiffs against U.S. defendants for damages suffered in the United States, nothing in the logic of these decisions would limit their holdings to domestic victims, actors or territory. Greenhouse gas emissions generated in one country flow across national boundaries with ease and mix with the greenhouse gas emissions generated by other actors in other countries, and their impact - rising temperatures and sea levels and the resulting harm - could be felt anywhere. The result may be a wave of international climate change litigation in the U.S. courts.

Who Owns the Earth?

When DuPont went to trial in Beaumont, Texas, the deck was stacked against it, and the stakes high. The plaintiffs -- the McFaddins -- came from one of the most prominent families in Texas, and they had hired one of the state's best-known firms. Their claim: that the cancer-causing chemicals a DuPont plant was flushing through its wells into the earth had traveled beneath their land, had trashed their mineral rights, and would ultimately pollute their drinking water.

In Emotionally Revealing Book, Justice Thomas Is Most Critical of Himself

Clarence Thomas' brutally self-critical autobiography, "My Grandfather's Son," bears little resemblance to most early accounts of the book's contents, legal scholar David Garrow writes. To call "My Grandfather's Son" "emotionally revealing" would be the understatement of the year, Garrow says, and fatuous op-ed columnists who insistently declare that Thomas is just bitterly wallowing in self-pity have either failed to read the book or possess an undeclared bias that overwhelmed their critical faculties.

The Education of Clarence Thomas

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has slowly but surely begun to erase his poor public image, a feat that seemed unimaginable during his contentious Senate confirmation. He has defined a clearly personal jurisprudence anchored in an originalism that is receiving some scholarly respect. Combined with his off-the-bench pronouncements on self-help and duty, he is etching a new, more positive narrative of his life onto the public consciousness.

Mike's Friendly Microsoft Takeover

There are 96 lawsuits pending against Microsoft -- and counting -- in places as remote as Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Howell, Mich. And Michael D. Hausfeld, of Washington, D.C.'s Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll, has tried to get to know all the lawyers involved. Hausfeld has moved quickly to get most of the lawyers under his tent, as class action lawyers like to say -- with him in charge.
