The Culture Gap

So many countries, so many rules for attorneys to follow. The way attorneys exchange business cards or conduct meetings can differ from country to country. Globalization of the legal world has led more lawyers to travel overseas, so grasping another country's customs can make or break a lawyer's deal. And though a number of large law firms are adding cross-cultural training of some sort, others say there are more important ways to serve clients, and they simply try to practice cultural sensitivity.

Giuliani Burnishes Conservative Credentials With Choice of Legal Policy Advisers

On its face, Rudolph Giuliani's list of legal policy advisers is a promise fulfilled to conservatives who have been openly queasy about his support of abortion rights and his more liberal stances on gun control and other issues. But the committee, saturated with Federalist Society leaders and Reagan appointees, is more than a shove in a Republican race to see who's more conservative: its influence could have real implications for the DOJ and the U.S. Supreme Court, if events play out in Giuliani's favor.

The Community Hospital Group, Inc. v. More,

Where the restrictive covenant between plaintiff-hospital and defendant-neurosurgeon prohibited defendant from practicing within a 30-mile radius of the hospital for two years after leaving plaintiff's employ, the trial court misapplied the Karlin standard under which such restrictive covenants are examined and erred as a matter of law in finding that plaintiff failed to meet its burden for preliminary injunctive relief; plaintiff has a legitimate interest in protecting its client base, and failure to pr

Texas' Liberty Legal Institute Has DOJ's Ear

The Liberty Legal Institute's latest battle is with the Plano Independent School District over a third-grade pupil's right to pass out candy cane pens bearing religious messages.

ACLU Dishes It Out On Patriot Act. DOJ Dishes It Back

The Ashcroft Justice Department and the American Civil Liberties Union don't find themselves on the same side of many issues � least of all the USA Patriot Act. Yet the DOJ and the ACLU Web sites devoted to the controversial law share an ironic symmetry. On the DOJ site, a banner reads "Preserving Life and Liberty."

Co-Worker Whistleblower Cases Test Limits of 'Higgins' Holding

Scarcely a year after the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that peer-to-peer whistleblowers in the workplace are entitled to protection against retaliatory discharge, two cases are forcing the justices to sharpen their pencils. The central issue in both cases is the extent to which New Jersey's Conscientious Employee Protection Act covers a worker who discloses wrongful action by fellow employees or cooperates in an investigation of them, even though direct harm to the public interest may not be present.
