An extraordinary tribunal assembled by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims is set to consider, for the first time in a judicial proceeding, whether the combination of certain vaccines and thimerosal, a mercury-based vaccine preservative, can cause autism -- a group of disorders that affects as many as one in 150 children born in the U.S. The government has long denied such a link exists. The test case could shake -- or bolster -- public confidence in the vaccine system and impact autism litigation worldwide.

Living the Legal & Literary Life

The mutual fascination of authors with the law and lawyers with writing is at least 300 years old - British novelist Henry Fielding, born in 1707, was a lawyer - with a dramatic uptick in the number of lawyer/authors traceable to the Watergate scandal of 1972-73, in which high-powered attorneys in Washington, D.C., were carted off to prison. It was during that time of embarrassment to the bar, said Scott Turow, that "the public realized they'd better watch lawyers carefully."

When the Client Is a Pariah

Criminal defense attorneys in high-profile cases involving heinous acts often take the heat for their clients' alleged crimes. It's a high-pressure job that sometimes entails death threats, bomb scares, harassment of their children and alienation from friends, colleagues and society. And acquittals in such cases are rare.

The Lawyer, the Editor, Their Toddler, and Williamsburg

Forget scuba diving in icy waters or bungee jumping in New Zealand. For real adventure travel, try taking a two-year-old on vacation. Legal Times' Jenna Greene, her husband, who's a lawyer, and their son and dog set off for a family vacation to historic Williamsburg, Va.

Senate Democrats Grill 9th Circuit Nominee

It's been nearly two years since President Bush nominated L.A. Superior Court Judge Carolyn Kuhl for a seat on the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Her nomination has languished, with Democrats, in control of the Senate for most of that time, refusing to give her a committee hearing. Kuhl finally got one Tuesday, though it came over the objections of Sen. Barbara Boxer, who still hasn't returned the "blue slip" that, under Senate tradition, allows home-state senators to block a nominee's hearing.

But he was a seminal figure in he development of civil liberties. His influence was felt -- at times physically -- in speeches, demonstrations, and, most importantly, in debates within the American Civil Liberties Union.
