Record-Setting $1 Billion Verdict Returned in Fen-Phen Suit
A Texas jury unanimously returned a record $1 billion verdict in a fen-phen wrongful-death suit last week, but a Houston plaintiffs lawyer now faces the harder task of convincing the courts that the jury finding busts a statutory cap on punitive damages.

At age 40, Paul Clement is one of the youngest solicitors general of the United States in history. As the Bush administration's top advocate at the Supreme Court, he manages much of the government's courtroom war on terror.

At the end of Bush's term, Clement may be looking toward a career as a top tier member of the private Supreme Court bar, perhaps a judgeship, even a spot on the high court itself.Miers' Nomination May Be a Mixed Blessing for Locke Liddell
Whatever the outcome of Harriet Miers' Supreme Court nomination, life at Locke Liddell & Sapp, the Texas firm where she was a partner, will never be the same. Since President Bush tapped Miers for the Court, the firm has become the focus of national attention, a situation that raises its profile and presumably will bring new business. But the public hunt for any tidbit of information about Miers and the firm where she practiced for most of her career also brings attention to past problems at Locke Liddell.Corporate Transparency Act Resource Kit
