Do Not Open a Can of Spam Posted By : Guido Nussbaum

The federal anti-spamming bill "Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing" Act of 2003 was not much help in reducing the amount of junk e-mail that floods the internet, but it did clarify a few specifics over what was allowed.

Shareholders Sue Over Alleged Backdating by Citrix Systems Execs

A recent flurry of lawsuits by shareholders of Citrix Systems in federal court in Florida alleges that 17 current and former Citrix executives, directors and members of the compensation committee unjustly enriched themselves at the expense of shareholders by receiving stock options at backdated prices. The lawsuits follow the company's disclosures earlier this year to the Securities and Exchange Commission that it was looking into its stock options granting practices for its executives.


Light Cigarette Suit Snuffed Out by Ill. High Court

In a 4-2 ruling, the Illinois Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered a lower court judge to stop asking for permission to reopen a failed lawsuit against Philip Morris over the company's light cigarettes, effectively putting an end to the high-profile litigation. In 2003, Madison County Circuit Judge Nicholas Byron issued a $10.1 billion judgment against Philip Morris USA, saying the company misled customers into believing they were buying a less harmful cigarette.


How Much Will 'Best Law Firms for Women' List Influence Attorneys?

Female law students entering the recruiting season have another weapon for their interviewing arsenal: a list of the 50 U.S. firms deemed most woman-friendly. The survey by magazine and Flex-Time Lawyers covers benefits and compensation; parental leave and policies; child care; workforce profile; flexibility; and retention and advancement. Some women in the profession, however, question how much of an impact the list might have on a newly minted attorney's employment decisions.


Is All Quiet on the Law Firm Merger Front?

Merger chatter seems to be quieter than this time last year, but legal industry experts say it's never really stopped. Merger activity in 2007 is set to outpace the flurry of combinations completed in 2006, according to Hildebrandt International. Consultants and law firm leaders promise that any slowdown in merger announcements has more to do with summer vacation than with a lack of discussions. One consultant predicts there will be 50 or more mergers nationally by the end of the year.


Considering Arbitration's Costs and Dangers

When they are negotiating the terms of commercial contracts, companies frequently assume that inclusion of an arbitration clause is a no-brainer. Savings with the stroke of a pen, right? Not always, warn attorneys Brian H. Corcoran and Mandie Landry. Arbitration holds its own hidden risks and dangers that are too easily glossed over. Here are five factors any company thinking about including an arbitration provision in a contract should consider.


Fla. Medicaid Dispute Addresses States' Control of Drug Coverage Rules

Lawyers who won a ruling blocking the Florida Medicaid program from restricting coverage of the popular prescription drug Neurontin say the state's recent decision to drop its appeal sets an important precedent for what states can and cannot do on drug coverage rules. A key dispute was over whether Congress intended Medicaid programs to cover all prescription drug uses listed in three congressionally approved drug compendia whether they're FDA-approved or not. The issue remains disputed by both sides.


Pa. Court: Viewing Child Porn on Computer Enough for Possession

The Pennsylvania Superior Court isn't buying the argument that a man who viewed child pornography on his computer, but didn't save images, couldn't be charged with possession of child pornography. A 7-2 en banc panel reversed a prior three-judge panel that found, in an issue of first impression, that there was not sufficient evidence to show that Anthony Diodoro downloaded or saved images of child pornography he viewed.


Head of Civil Rights Division Resigns From Justice Department

The top civil rights enforcer at the DOJ resigned Thursday following more than a year of criticism that his office filled its ranks with conservative loyalists instead of experienced attorneys. Assistant AG Wan J. Kim was the first immigrant and first Korean-American to head the department's civil rights division. Kim is the latest senior DOJ official to leave amid a scathing congressional investigation that has raised questions about the department's political independence from the White House.


N.J. Top Court to Decide Scope of Protection for Sports Spectators

With a new hockey arena opening in Newark, N.J., this fall, it seems particularly apropos that the New Jersey Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal by an injured hockey spectator. At issue is the duty to protect fans at sporting events, especially in higher-risk areas of the venue. The case, brought by a woman who was hit in the forehead by a hockey puck, will present an opportunity for the court to clarify the scope of a 2005 decision that expanded the potential liability for spectator injuries.


Divided Panel Rules 'Seduction' Claims Against Rabbi Are Barred by N.Y. Law

A woman has no claims against a rabbi whom she alleges counseled her to have sex with him to overcome problems in finding a husband, a New York appellate panel ruled Thursday. In the lawsuit, according to the majority opinion, the woman claimed the rabbi had advised her to have sex with him so her "life will open up and men will come to her." The synagogue where the rabbi presided will move for summary judgment based on the ruling, said its lawyer.


Judge Rebuffs Claim Defense Attorney Slept During Trial

Second Circuit Judge Rosemary S. Pooler has declined to vacate the conviction of a defendant who contended he was denied effective counsel because his attorney slept through large portions of his trial, presided over by Pooler in the Northern District of New York. In reconciling conflicting testimony on the matter, Pooler wrote that she relied on her own recollections of the trial and the transcript, which showed the attorney actively defending his client, lodging objections and cross-examining witnesses.


Bias Claims Proceed Against Seller of 'Damaged' Homes

A series of federal lawsuits filed by eight black first-time homebuyers alleging that New York's United Homes targeted minorities as part of a conspiracy to sell over-valued, broken-down homes financed with predatory loans will go forward following a federal judge's rejection of the defendants' motions to dismiss. A lawyer in the case said, "The decision is probably the first time a New York federal court has come to grips with this issue -- the intersection of predatory lending and race discrimination."


Commentary: How Michael Vick Is Like Richard Nixon

Star quarterback Michael Vick, facing up to five years in prison for conspiring to run a dogfighting ring, is caught in one of the oldest traps in American justice: the illegal shift. The illegal shift occurs when an activity that is against the law, but rarely enforced as such, suddenly launches into public prominence, leaving those targeted for prosecution disoriented and disbelieving. And the consequences are much more severe than a five-yard penalty, writes editor Douglas McCollam.
