Texas' Liberty Legal Institute Has DOJ's Ear

The Liberty Legal Institute's latest battle is with the Plano Independent School District over a third-grade pupil's right to pass out candy cane pens bearing religious messages. But the Texas non-profit has a not-so-secret weapon: Their clients' claims have triggered six U.S. Department of Justice civil rights investigations in the past three years, more than one-fourth of the DOJ's religious freedom cases in that time period.

Co-Worker Whistleblower Cases Test Limits of 'Higgins' Holding

Scarcely a year after the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that peer-to-peer whistleblowers in the workplace are entitled to protection against retaliatory discharge, two cases are forcing the justices to sharpen their pencils. The central issue in both cases is the extent to which New Jersey's Conscientious Employee Protection Act covers a worker who discloses wrongful action by fellow employees or cooperates in an investigation of them, even though direct harm to the public interest may not be present.

Invasion of the Lawyer Snatchers

The invasion of the Northeast's megafirms topped New Jersey's legal stories in 1999, a year that saw two venerable partnerships and dozens of smaller groups swept up in the tide of colonization. From the purchase of 110-lawyer Shanley & Fisher by Philadelphia's Drinker, Biddle & Reath to the defection of legions of lone lawyers, hardly a week passed without an announcement that a New York or Pennsylvania firm had gobbled up a partnership or a practice section.

John Ashcroft's Justice Department and the American Civil Liberties Union don't find themselves on the same side too often. But DOJ and ACLU Web sites focusing on the Patriot Act share a certain symmetry. On the DOJ site a banner reads, "Preserving Life and Liberty." On the ACLU site, the motto declares, "Keeping America Safe and Free." It's all part of dueling public relations campaigns that the Bush camp and its critics are waging as the controversial law comes up for renewal.

We've got news to report in a six-year-old battle between Japanese drugmaker Daiichi Sankyo and generic maker Apotex. In an opinion made public Tuesday, a New Jersey district court dismissed with prejudice Apotex's antitrust claims against Daiichi.

Largest Private Law Offices

Clifford Chance once had aspirations to dominate New York. But a decade after it combined with Roger & Wells to become the fifth largest employer of lawyers in New York state, it is a shadow of its former self. The drop in Clifford Chance's headcount - the largest reduction citywide at a major law firm - was just one of the findings of this year's NYLJ 100.
