Things you’re missing if you’re not keeping up with my other site:
- Judge dismisses much-watched Kivalina suit demanding damages for Inuit village from global warming;
- Supreme Court will tackle controversial doctrine of “honest services fraud”;
- Class action lawyer Sean Coffey [Bernstein Litovitz] may run for New York attorney general;
- Not even a hearing before Senate confirms OSHA nominee David Michaels?
- Law firm pay-to-play in representing New York public pension funds. And Spitzer: let’s use public pension funds to annihilate the U.S. Chamber;
- When Teamster librarians signal you to be quiet, you’d better be quiet, understand? And Connecticut orders utilities not to lay off workers.

Ahh, it was refreshing to read the hardcore attorney’s statements about the Teamsters and the Library.
I’ll remember this guy the next time I here some oldtimer lawyer talking about how the business used to be civil…
I hope that the Supreme Court gets right the “honest services fraud” right. I recall Senator Boxer going after Mr. Skilling in a hearing. She was upset by his arrogance. That would have been OK had she actually known the guy or understood the economics of Enron. She was a witch hunter and Mr. Skilling was punished essentially for his personality.
I also hope that Chief Justice Roberts and Associate Justice Breyer can get together here and put rationality ahead of ideological bias, as was done with the Daubert decision.
