Intel Suit May Set Antitrust Standard
A private antitrust suit now pending against Intel Corp. in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is expected to have an even broader impact on the computer industry than the consent decree forged earlier this month by the FCC and the chip maker.

Law Reviews Seek New Relevancy in Cyberspace

The big five guerrilla attack on the legal profession reached a new level of firepower when a latter-day Tet offensive was launched recently. With more than 5,000 lawyers on staff, Ernst & Young announced the formation of what it characterizes as a completely "independent" law firm.

Lay Members of Discipline Board Loathe Leniency
When the Disciplinary Review Board was created in 1978, some lawyers disliked the idea that three of its nine seats were reserved for lay members. No one but another lawyer could appreciate the intricacies and pressures of practice, and nonlawyers would tend toward unnecessary harshness, the argument ran. It turns out the objectors had a point. The voting patterns of lawyers and lay people on the board suggest big differences in how the two groups view those who appear before them.More from ALM
