Law Firms Keeping Close Eye on Sidley Case

The EEOC's age discrimination case against Sidley Austin asks: Are mandatory retirement guidelines in a law firm's partnership illegal? Firms are saying age isn't a factor, despite a recent study that shows more than half of large law firms have a mandatory retirement age. "Law firms, by and large, have been mostly unaccountable," says employment lawyer Lynne Bernabei. "[The Sidley case is] the beginning of law firms having to make sure their employment practices comply with anti-discriminatory laws."

Associates Survey 2008

Smaller firms often outscore larger ones on our annual survey of midlevel job satisfaction. It may be because a more intimate atmosphere breeds happiness. Maybe it's because associates have more responsibility. Perhaps it's because they have a better chance of making partner. In these charts, firms are grouped roughly according to size. In the first category are firms whose annual gross revenues are too low to qualify for the Am Law 200. These are the smallest firms that took part in our survey. In the second category are Am Law Second Hundred firms?numbers 101-200 on the most recent Am Law 200 survey (July.) In the final category are firms that appear on our most recent Am Law 100 (May) or Global 100 (October 2007) survey. For a full methodology, click here.

For Reynolds American, Star Scientific's billion-dollar patent infringement case was like a bad, two-pack-a-day smoking habit: It took a while to kick. But after a Baltimore federal district court jury this week cleared Reynolds of infringement--and found Star's patents invalid, to boot--the tobacco company can finally take a deep breath. And for that it can thank our Litigator of the Week, Richard Kaplan of Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione, who's been the tobacco company's counsel throughout eight long years of litigation.

Conflict Looms Over Executive Privilege

Democrats have long believed that the DOJ's plan to fire U.S. Attorneys began in the White House, and last week they proved willing to take the investigation to its doorstep by subpoenaing former Bush aides. White House counsel Fred Fielding hasn't budged from his first response to congressional inquiries in March: no transcripts and no public testimony. But many observers say the subpoenas are likely to force the White House to find a middle ground, even if it takes a protracted legal fight to get there.

No-Show Iraqi Contractor Hit With $4.9M Default Judgment

When Lt. Col. Dominic R. Baragona died in a traffic accident on an Iraqi highway in 2003, few would have foreseen that his death would prompt a federal judge in Atlanta to levy a $4.9 million judgment against a U.S. military contractor in Kuwait. The wrongful death suit has become a national case of first impression regarding the responsibilities of a foreign military contractor when an employee's negligence results in an American soldier's death, said Steven R. Perles, attorney for the Baragona family.
