House Chairman Seeks Investigation, Possible Impeachment of Calif. Judge The Associated Press House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., has introduced a resolution to allow his committee to investigate U.S. District Judge Manuel Real, who has served on the federal bench in Los Angeles since 1966. The committee would then consider whether impeachment proceedings are warranted, Sensenbrenner said. Real allegedly seized control of a bankruptcy case involving a defendant he knew and then allowed the defendant to live rent-free for years in a house she'd been ordered to vacate. |

Special Masters Can Do the Heavy Lifting for E-Discovery The National Law Journal The multitude of tasks and issues emerging around electronic discovery carry more weight and effort than many courts can bear, say our commentators. Fortunately, a special master can address the rules, processes and disputes that complicate e-discovery. He or she can address pretrial concerns, such as costs, confidentiality and data spoliation, allowing courts to focus their energies on more appropriate tasks -- like dispensing justice.

Meet the Original Patent Troll IP Law & Business Instead of looking for clients, litigator Raymond Niro looks for patents, holding the dubious distinction of being the first patent troll. In 2001 Intel assistant GC Peter Detkin coined the term to characterize Niro and his client. "Troll was a derivative of, er, me," says Niro. But love him or hate him for his innovative ways, there's no doubt that Niro and his firm are at the center of a patent ecosystem, connecting patent-holding companies, lawyers and inventors, and making serious profits.

Congress Debates Auctions for Lead Counsel in Securities Class Actions The National Law Journal Chief Judge Vaughn Walker of the Northern District of California testified recently before a House subcommittee, endorsing legislation that would allow judges to use competitive bidding to select lead counsel in securities class actions. Walker was one of the first federal judges to experiment with competitive selection of class counsel, and the 3rd and 9th Circuits have since curbed the practice. But the new legislation is driven, in part, by the recent indictments against Milberg Weiss. Visit In-House Counsel |

Google 'Click Fraud' Settlement Criticized The National Law Journal More than 40 online advertisers alleging that the nation's top search engines conspired to overcharge them have filed objections aimed at unraveling a $90 million settlement with Google. The class action alleges that Google and others charged two advertisers for fraudulent clicks in pay-per-click advertising programs. Objectors say the proposed settlement is unfair, in part because they will receive only 10 percent of a $60 million fund. They're also not happy about the size of the attorney fees.

The case has already resulted in plea deals with two people allegedly involved in the payoff schemes. On Monday, prosecutor Douglas Axel said there is a "significant possibility" of a future superseding indictment being filed, which may add additional claims and parties. |

From Online Poker to Prison: The Laws Governing Online Gambling Special to Law.com Online gambling is a lucrative industry, but it's also illegal when the activity occurs in a state that outlaws gambling.

Under Fire, DA Defends Decision to Oust Female Part-Timers New York Law Journal Nassau County, N.Y., DA Kathleen Rice on Tuesday defended her decision to let go a dozen part-time women prosecutors unless they agree to work full time. The part-timers are all mothers, though the DA's office says that some have older children. Rice's decision "shows that family is not an important item on her agenda," says the state Women's Bar Association president. But Rice called the statement a "knee-jerk reaction" that fails to recognize the steps she has taken to place women in senior positions. |

4th Circuit Nominee Boyle: 'Missed' Appearance of Conflict in Four Cases The Associated Press Terrence Boyle, President Bush's nominee for the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, acknowledges missing the appearance of a conflict of interest in four cases in which he is accused of ruling on litigants in whose companies his family held stock. "These situations were an oversight, an inadvertent mistake," Boyle wrote in a letter. It wasn't clear that the letter improved his prospects for confirmation. Democratic leader Harry Reid says his party will filibuster Boyle's nomination if it comes to the floor. |

If proven, the accusations against Holder would place him among New York attorneys who have stolen the largest amounts from clients. |

Stock Conflict Cited in 9th Circuit Judge's Trademark Rulings The Recorder After losing two trademark cases, an attorney for a software company is trying to get the rulings thrown out because one of the 9th Circuit judges hearing the case apparently had a financial conflict.

Are Companies Bound by Promises of Lifetime Benefits? The National Law Journal Over the past decade, the number of retirees offered health benefits by the nation's largest companies has plummeted, and some union retirees promised lifetime medical benefits have learned that "lifetime" only means "until revoked." Across the country, federal courts have been pulled into the wrangling over how promises of lifetime benefits can be broken, or whether the promises existed at all. The courts have provided divergent answers, signaling that the U.S. Supreme Court may have to step into the fray. Visit the Employment Law Practice Center • SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED |

Death Penalty Disquiet on High Court Echoes Earlier Time Legal Times In the wake of a recent batch of Supreme Court decisions on the death penalty, abolitionists are beginning to draw parallels with a period more than 30 years ago, when the Court's long-standing support for capital punishment dissolved, at least for a while. This term, four justices made it clear that their concerns, especially about the possible execution of the innocent, are deepening. Their mood guarantees turmoil ahead on the issue, with Justice Anthony Kennedy in his characteristic role as swing vote. Visit the U.S. Supreme Court Monitor |

Private investigators identified more than 42,000 entry attempts, which, according to the complaint, could be traced to e-mail addresses from IBM's Durham office. The firm is suing IBM for attorney fees and over $60,000 that it paid for outside counsel and to beef up its security. |

3rd Circuit: Jury-Selection Flaw Brings New Penalty Phase in Capital Case The Legal Intelligencer A potential juror in a death penalty case cannot be stricken solely because she expressed opposition to capital punishment, but instead must be asked "follow-up questions" about her "willingness and ability to follow the law," the 3rd Circuit has ruled. Overturning Andre Stevens' death sentence, the court found that striking juror Nancy Hartling violated a 1968 U.S. Supreme Court decision, which held that a juror may not be excused for cause simply for "voicing general objections to the death penalty." |

N.Y. High Court Says Mistaken Avowal of Fatherhood Imposes an 'Equitable
Paternity' New York Law Journal He who acts like a father, is a father -- at least legally -- the New York Court of Appeals said in imposing "equitable paternity" on a man who wrongly assumed he had fathered a girl and acted accordingly. The man had argued that the order to pay child support on behalf of a child he did not father effectively saddled him with an involuntary adoption, in violation of the Constitution and contrary to public policy. But the court focused not on whether he got a raw deal but on the best interests of the child. |

Am Law 200 Firms Still Have Way to Go on Pro Bono The American Lawyer Last year The American Lawyer challenged Am Law 200 attorneys to meet a minimum annual standard of 20 hours' pro bono work per lawyer. More of them did, albeit barely. Overall, The Am Law 200 had an 8.2 percent gain in the number of lawyers who hit that target. Still, only 37.3 percent of those firms' attorneys reached or exceeded that figure in 2005. As some firms prove, near-total pro bono participation at the 20-hour level is possible, which only underscores how much room for improvement remains. |

High Court Ends Same-Sex Marriage Fight New York Law Journal Marking the end of the judicial battle in New York over gay marriage, the Court of Appeals has ruled that same-sex couples have no right to marry under the state Constitution. Because the appellants raised no federal issues, they cannot appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye wrote an impassioned, 27-page dissent that repeatedly compared the case to the U.S. Supreme Court decision that ruled laws against inter-racial marriage unconstitutional. |
