The billionaire Sam Wyly and his lawyers at Bickel & Brewer have long campaigned against a $143 million class settlement that Computer Associates International reached with its shareholders in 2003, in the wake of a massive accounting scandal. Their primary targets have been the plaintiffs lawyers that secured the deal, including the infamous Melvyn Weiss, formerly of the firm now known as Milberg. But Wyly's claims that the plaintiffs firms bungled the case keep missing their mark.

In the Dole Nicaraguan pesticide litigation, Gibson caught plaintiffs lawyers making claims for people who never even worked on banana plantations. Now, in Chevron's long-running Lago Agrio case, they've uncovered allegedly false expert witness report filings by the other side. And the whistleblower is the plaintiffs own expert.
