Would a Justice Alito Carry On the Reagan Revolution?

In Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito Jr.'s confirmation hearings last week, Democrats focused critical attention on his role in the Reagan administration -- before his 15 years in the "judicial monastery" smoothed any partisan edges he had. Some voiced concern that, once Alito is freed from the circuit court obligation to obey precedent, those loyalties will resurface and make him the high court's most faithful emissary of the Reagan revolution.

Georgia Justices Pass Expert Witness Issue Back to Legislature

Last April, the Georgia Supreme Court voted to consider adopting a strict expert witness rule that had failed to get through the General Assembly. But thanks to two justices' apparent change of heart, the court has now announced it will not decide the case. Tort reform advocates had hoped Georgia would become the next state to adopt expert standards set by the U.S. Supreme Court in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals.

5th Circuit to Weigh Jurisdiction Over Contractors in Iraq

More than 1,000 private contractors have been killed in Iraq and 13,000 wounded. Among them: a Kellogg Brown & Root convoy caught in what became known as the Good Friday massacre. The 2004 attack is the focus of a crucial suit, which claims drivers were induced into believing they would not be put in active combat zones. If the 5th Circuit lets a lower court decision stand, virtually any military contractor working for the federal government could be deemed beyond courts' authority and immune from U.S. law.

Stresses led to venerable firm's collapse

From the outside, Morgan Finnegan's future looked bright. It was January 2004, and the venerable IP firm had just signed a 20-year lease to take over the 20th and 21st floors at Three World Financial Center in lower Manhattan. The lease wasn't cheap-$327,000 a month in the first year-and the firm had been lured back downtown in part by a $1.

One Lawyer's Amazonian Adventure

Patent attorneys are used to going up against big companies for infringement, but for Pillsbury partner James Gatto, the battle is getting personal. That's because the attorney is fighting Amazon.com for infringement on his personal patent, an almost unheard of situation in the IP legal community. The case has already caused a bit of havoc for Gatto's old firms, including Baker Botts, Hunton & Williams and Mintz Levin, which have all been subpoenaed by Amazon's Kirkland & Ellis lawyers.
