New Twist In Class Action Law Could Affect Coke Race Case

U.S. District Court Judge Richard W. Story must decide whether to throw out a proposed class action suit brought by minority workers accusing the Coca-Cola Company of racial discrimination. He will be one of the first jurists to test a legal theory that may severely limit employment discrimination class action cases. The theory bars plaintiffs seeking primarily money damages rather than injunctive relief from pursuing a widely filed type of class action.

The A-List (51-200)

Lawyers like to lament the passing of their fabled past, when partners knew each other on sight, firms contented themselves to operating in one ZIP code and junior associates were not a menacing anonymous horde threatening to take out their frustrations via the blogosphere. As it happens, in the big-firm world those days aren't gone, they've just moved to the Am Law Second Hundred ranks, where firms are prosperous and growing steadily but retain the possibility of old-fashioned cohesion.

Most Associate Bonuses at Large Texas Firms Mirror Last Year's

With some enviously high exceptions, bonuses paid at the end of 2005 to associates with large Texas firms were similar to bonuses paid at the end of 2004. Sure, Houston's Susman Godfrey paid out year-end bonuses ranging from $86,000 to $150,000 -- averaging 75 percent of each associate's base pay -- but most associates statewide received considerably less. George Lamb, chairman of Baker Botts' associate compensation committee, says its two-tier bonus is based on merit and on productivity.

Texas Firms Slow First-Year Hiring Pace

For the hopeful Class of 1999, 1998 was an aberration - most first-year associates in Texas won't be receiving a raise over the typical $90,100 starting salary. A survey of Texas' 25 largest firms also reveals that the number of associates in the 1999 first-year class, while larger than last year's, does not represent as significant a jump as the 1998 class did. James Maloney, whose firm co-led the salary charge last year, says, "I think you're going to see slow growth, not explosive growth."
