CRC report says increased amount of 'junkets for judges'
Despite negative publicity about "junkets for judges" in recent years, a watchdog group reported on Friday that more federal judges than ever are taking subsidized trips.Cooley Godward and Kronish Lieb Agree to Merge
Leading Silicon Valley law firm Cooley Godward has agreed to merge with New York litigation boutique Kronish Lieb Weiner & Hellman to create a national firm of 550 lawyers, effective Oct. 1. Although the 440-lawyer Cooley has made no secret of its merger ambitions and its quest for a substantial New York presence, Kronish Lieb is something of a surprise partner. The 110-lawyer firm has long been regarded as one of the city's most fiercely independent firms.New Law Firm Targets E-Discovery Angst
In a fitting response to the burdens of electronic discovery, four far-flung experts launched a "virtual" law firm Monday, hoping to capitalize on the growing anxiety at legal departments and boardrooms across the country. A partner at Redgrave Daley Ragan & Wagner says the new firm will offer strategic advice on management of digital information, responses to e-discovery requests and the risks involved in the integration of information systems in the aftermath of a merger or acquisition.Harris Getting Reinforcements for Gang Unit
A bad week for the U.S. attorney's office turned into a good one for San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris. Anthony Brass, who had left the DA's office in 2002 to work for U.S. Attorney Kevin Ryan, announced Friday he is stepping down as a federal prosecutor to go after gangs for Harris. Brass will join Harris' three-person gang unit, focusing on murders and shootings. He is the first of eight new hires Harris hopes to make in the next fiscal year.Your R�sum� as a Business Tool
There is a temptation to think of a r�sum� as purely a tool for gaining employment that becomes largely irrelevant once a job has been found. Once you have a job, in short, it seems pointless and burdensome to spend time on your r�sum� (unless and until it comes time to answer the headhunters' siren calls). Yet your r�sum� can be an extremely valuable business tool, for many purposes, beyond simply finding a job.San Francisco Mortgage Fraud Closings Draw Crowd
Some experienced white-collar hands assembled for closings Monday in one of the few federal mortgage fraud cases to hit a Northern California jury. Judy Yeung, a woman well known in San Francisco political circles, is accused of using straw buyers to obtain fraudulent mortgages totaling $6.5 million. Her case is fairly representative of the DOJ's local mortgage fraud docket; since the housing market collapsed, prosecutors haven't brought any large-scale indictments against corporate lenders in the Bay Area.Creating a Culture of Compliance
