New Emory University School of Law Dean May Not Be Lawyer

Emory University's next law school dean may not be a lawyer -- two of the three finalists on the school's candidate list don't have J.D.s. They all have substantial credentials, but none have been law school deans. So why these choices? Was the search too limited? Is money an issue? No, say insiders like Board of Trustees chairman Ben F. Johnson III -- it's simply that some of the best people for the job weren't lawyers.

Will the Justices Bite the Bullet?

The U.S. Supreme Court has long refrained from examining the real meaning of the Second Amendment's promise of the right to "keep and bear arms." Now, gun rights advocates hope the Court will grant review in Silveira v. Lockyer, a challenge to California's assault weapon ban.

Feds Defend Secret Docketing of Post-9/11 Detainee's Case

The U.S. Department of Justice has made bold new assertions about the extent to which federal judges can hide information about the cases before them, according to censored documents filed at the U.S. Supreme Court. In a case involving a Florida man detained after the Sept. 11 attacks, a heavily redacted reply brief discloses the government's assertion that federal grand jury secrecy can cover even "ancillary proceedings that may touch on grand jury matters."

THE A-LIST 2007: An A-List Firm Takes the Road Less Traveled

Court May Hear Challenge to 9th Circuit's Assault Weapon Ruling

For more than six decades, the Supreme Court has ducked the opportunity to examine the real meaning of the Second Amendment's promise of the right to "keep and bear arms." Now, some advocates of gun rights are hoping the Supreme Court will finally bite the bullet and grant review in Silveira v. Lockyer, a challenge to California's strict 1999 assault weapon ban. The case is one of dozens the justices are set to discuss at their private conference Wednesday.

At PricewaterhouseCoopers, Rules Made to Be Broken

Opponents of multidisciplinary practices claim MDPs will lower professional standards for lawyers. And at least one Big Five accounting firm seems bound and determined to prove its multidisciplinary practice has a considerably more casual attitude towards rules and regulations than most law firms do.
