Midsize, Small Firms Must Keep Web Sites Up to Date and Focused
Unfocused Web sites are a missed opportunity, say legal marketers, who add that midsize and small firms are more prone to allowing their sites to be out of date or not user-friendly. But firms with limited budgets for Web site maintenance and upgrades shouldn't be daunted by the price.

Justice Ronald D. Castille voiced concern that allowing intentional conduct to decide the number of occurrences would appear to let insureds drive up policy limits and make policies impossible to price.Pa. Judge Backs 'Factual Cause' Instruction in Negligence Case
Juries hearing tort cases should be asked to weigh whether a defendant's negligence was a "factual cause" of the plaintiff's injury, not whether it was a "substantial factor," a Philadelphia judge has written in an opinion supporting recent changes in the state's jury instructions.
