A Manhattan Supreme Court judge has denied Morgan Stanley Dean Witter's unusual request for an injunction barring a Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges lawyer from representing ex-employees in current or future matters adverse to the financial services giant.

Rare Suit Against Expert Witness Highlights Pitfall of Not Showing Up

Lawyers wondering whether to videotape experts as a precaution should consider what just happened in Morris County, N.J. A plaintiff who claimed he lost $400,000 because an expert failed to show up and testify put his attorneys and the expert on trial for negligence. Though the professionals won, many of the judge's legal rulings in the case reinforce the principle that nonappearance can be negligence under the right circumstances.

Back to a Practice and a Life

Fred Van Remortel moved into his new office late last month. It's two stories lower and about 70 blocks from the one he had a year ago -- in the World Trade Center's north tower. Amid all the sorrow and struggle since Sept. 11, the two-attorney firm of Conway & Conway is actually doing better than ever. "It amazes me," says Van Remortel, "how often people come in and say, 'We were looking at you and some other firms, and we picked you because you were in the Trade Center.'"

Consumer Need Not Demand Refund to Seek Fraud Damages, N.J. Court Says

A consumer suing under New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act need not first demand a refund of alleged overcharges, a state appeals court held recently, parting company with an earlier precedent. The conflict means the state Supreme Court will likely hear the case if there is an appeal. The plaintiff's attorney says the new ruling "properly eviscerates" the earlier precedent and "reinstates [the Consumer Fraud Act] to its place as one of the most comprehensive consumer protection statutes."

Lawyers Wax Creative Finding Ways To Raise Money for Tsunami Victims

Unlike 9-11, when large numbers of lawyers volunteered to help victims' families navigate through the bureaucracy, there is little, if any, professional help lawyers can offer for victims of the Dec. 26 Indian Ocean tsunami. Still, they are finding ways to assist, not only by digging into their own pockets but also by acting collectively through their law firms, bar groups and law schools.
