Supreme Court Removes State, City From School Desegregation Case

Pa. Supreme Court justices reversed an appellate court ruling forcing the state and city governments into the case for the purpose of litigating the funding of desegregation remedies in Philadelphia schools. The remedies, ranging from all-day kindergarten to reduction in class size, remain undisturbed by the court's decision.

Prepare Now to Ward Off Hostile Takeover Bids

General counsel need to make sure their companies are prepared to ward off hostile takeover bids, writes Robert W. Dockery. In 2010, there was an 80 percent increase in the number of acquisitions of U.S. publicly traded companies valued at more than $100 million compared with 2009, according to a Jan. 13 article on thePractical Law Company website. As the credit markets continue to loosen, many commentators believe the number of acquisitions will continue to increase. However, as has occurred in past periods of rising acquisition activity, companies also should expect hostile bidders.

James Maloney, whose firm co-led the salary charge last year, says, "I think you're going to see slow growth, not explosive growth."
