Plaintiffs lawyers are slapping public companies with securities class actions months or years after the alleged fraud came to light as they turn their attention away from cases related to the financial meltdown. The delayed filings are a shift from the previously common practice of pursuing a securities fraud class action days or weeks after a stock-price decline caused investor losses.

Considering When Courts Should Override Parents' Decisions

Robert Z. Dobrish, the senior member of Dobrish Zeif Gross, writes that recently, a court rejected an arrangement that was inconsistent with the wishes of the children despite both parents' belief that it was in the children's best interests. The case was unique in its posture in that both parties stipulated to the facts and asked the court to decide the issue. Thus, a most interesting question remains: What would have happened if the parties had resolved the issue in a manner which was antagonistic to the desires of the children, but both parents sought to withdraw their proceeding and objected to the court's making its own determination? Would/should the court then have had the ability/temerity to make non-critical child rearing decisions when the child's parents made different choices?
