A Life-or-Death Decision

Brain-damaged since wrecking his truck in 1993, Robert Wendland exists in a twilight state. Five amicus curiae briefs filed last week, with opinions on Wendland's right to die or live, make it clear that the court's decision could have tsunami-sized repercussions.

A Royal Battle Rages Over Diana's Image

Intellectual property lawyers say the memorabilia flood following a celebrity's headlines -- in life or in death -- is often illegal.

Text Messaging and Trials: A Volatile Mix

Wireless technology has raised a new concern: Is text messaging being used to tamper with trials? That fear surfaced during a recent Michigan murder trial, when a judge heard that someone in the courtroom had used a cell phone to send a text message to a sequestered witness out in a hallway about testimony.

In eight years, the plaintiffs lawyers have settled more than two dozen disputes without filing suit or bringing in a mediator. Now, after targeting Fortune 500 companies to deliver public accommodations, the two have begun testing their settle-first strategy on public agencies.

Instead, they belong to the growing ranks of senior advisers, brought on to guide firms through non-legal intricacies of various markets and to provide access to prospective clients. And in the view of Covington & Burling's Stuart Eizenstat, it's the wave of the globalized future.
