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.

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.

EEOC Moves to Compel Testimony on Changing Sidley Partners' Status New York Law Journal The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which is suing Sidley Austin for age discrimination on behalf of 31 partners demoted or expelled in 1999, has moved to compel the firm to produce a deposition witness to testify about the firm's reasons for changing the partners' status.

N.Y. Lawyer Indicted for Stealing $1.6 Million From Clients New York Law Journal Manhattan lawyer Campbell Holder was indicted Wednesday for stealing $1.6 million from seven of his clients. Holder, who was born in Barbados, allegedly used the money taken from his clients' accounts to pay for numerous trips to the Caribbean island, a Lexus and a BMW, and items from Louis Vuitton and other stores, according to the Manhattan district attorney's office. If proven, the accusations against Holder would place him among New York attorneys who have stolen the largest amounts from clients.
