When Labels Don't Fit

Nominated by President George W. Bush for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Miguel Estrada employs a clearly conservative approach to the law. After all, he's a member of the Federalist Society and worked for Kenneth Starr. But a right-wing ideologue to the core he is not. Nonetheless, while some Latinos are pleased to see diversity, others of the largely liberal group ask, at what expense?

Federal Circuit Takes On Mafia Allegations, Prozac, Publishing and Precedent Reversals

It's a case the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals cannot refuse. With exclusive jurisdiction over patents, international trade, and government contracts cases, the Federal Circuit might be the last place you'd expect to hear about a Mafia conspiracy. Even so, a three-judge circuit panel will hear the appeal of an Italian janitorial service company -- as it tries to spin a tale worthy of a Mario Puzo novel.

Shhh! Pro Bono's Not Just for Liberals Anymore

Contrary to popular wisdom, pro bono isn't just the province of liberals. Bolstered by influential organizations and pro bono advocates, some big firms regularly champion libertarian causes, while others challenge race-based policies and represent opponents of gay rights and abortion. As the politics of pro bono become more fluid, distinctions between liberals and conservatives are also blurring. The shift, seen in recent Supreme Court showdowns, is a quiet phenomenon that's 20 years in the making.

Owen Faces Abortion, Judicial Activism Questions at Hearing

Abortion is Exhibit A for the opponents of federal appeals court nominee Priscilla Owen. And she has a paper trail: As a Texas Supreme Court justice, she ruled in a dozen cases involving teens who sought judicial approval to have abortions without telling their parents.
