2nd Circuit Abandons 2002 Ruling That Boosted Attachments

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overruled a case Friday it said triggered a flood of maritime attachment orders and posed a threat to both the strength of the U.S. dollar and New York City's standing as an international financial center. Reversing course, the circuit said the incidental and momentary passage of electronic fund transfers through intermediary New York banks will no longer be sufficient to vest jurisdiction in maritime disputes.

Pepper Hamilton Raising First-Year Associates' Salaries by $20,000

Pepper Hamilton increased its first-year associate salary by $20,000 from where it was this time last year, moving to $145,000 at six offices effective Sept. 1. Executive partner Robert Heideck says the firm decided to announce the salary increases a little bit later than other firms because it believes the best time to do so is right before the summer associates arrive and a few months before the new associate class begins. But one consultant says Pepper Hamilton's increase is a bit surprising.

The Finer Points of Farming Out Work

Farming out legal work is a delicate balance of personal and professional relationships, budget management and hunting for first-class legal expertise. At many companies, the prevailing mindset is: the bigger the firm, the better the representation. Though legal work often flows to the largest law firms, companies don't always lock into one full-service megafirm for all their legal needs.

Employing a narrow reading of the recent Supreme Court cases on defining disabilities, a federal judge has held that corrective measures, such as eyeglasses, act as a bar to filing suit under the ADA only when they "fully control" a person's impairment. Senior U.S. District Judge Thomas N. O'Neill said that sometimes the plaintiff cannot meet the ADA's definition of "person with a disability." But in other cases, the answer may be less clear and the court may need to send the question to a jury.
