Weil Gotshal Associate Moonlights in ER

By day he works on patent litigation in the Silicon Valley office of Weil Gotshal. But by night he revives heart attack victims and sets broken bones as an emergency room doctor. Okey Onyejekwe, M.D., J.D., might not be a superhero, but he comes close in the minds of all the parents who just want their kids to grow up to be one or the other. "The hours are very similar in terms of the toll that it takes -- I've had to do all-night work at Weil," says Onyejekwe, who'd like to get into health care policy.

Man Jailed for Trying to Get Out of Jury Pool

An Ohio man made a mockery of the justice system when he tried to get removed from a jury pool in a death penalty case by claiming on a questionnaire for potential jurors that he is a heroin addict and a killer, said Judge Julie M. Lynch. Benjamin Ratliffe was charged with contempt of court and obstruction of justice and ordered to spend a night in jail. "He didn't try to defend his responses, and he lied under oath, and he was insubordinate," said Lynch, who ultimately removed Ratliffe from the jury pool.

Allen & Overy Prepares to Launch in South America

Allen & Overy is eyeing a Latin America launch, with the Magic Circle firm in the process of gaining regulatory approval to open in Brazil. "There is a lot we need to do and it would take us around six months to complete the regulatory process, if we go forward with the plan," A&O U.S. co-managing partner Ian Shrank said. Many firms have been put off from launching in Brazil by restrictive local bar rules, which do not permit foreign firms to practice local law.

Trial in Court = Trial by Fire at Firm

Many law firms do their best to control the path from associate to partner in order to help young lawyers adjust seamlessly to their professional surroundings. But inevitably, somewhere along the way, an associate is asked to take the driver's seat without anyone really guiding the way. That moment arrived last month for Daniel Feldstein, a senior associate in Bingham McCutchen's San Francisco office, when a partner was in trial for most of the month, and two major clients faced union organizing campaigns.

'Hit-Man' E-Mail Makes Lawyers an Offer They Can't Refuse

Dentists, doctors, lawyers and other professionals in the Pittsburgh area have been targeted by a "hit man" e-mail scheme. They've received messages that tell them to pay up to spare their lives, the FBI said. The e-mail, which was sent to most recipients around Christmas, tells each reader there is a contract out on his life, generally for $50,000. It says if the recipient sends the "hit man" more money than that -- ranging from $80,000 to $150,000 -- the hit man will cease and desist.

Writing Bankruptcy Book Eats Up Attorney's Sabbatical

Irell & Manella partner Howard Steinberg has wrapped up a 3,750-page bankruptcy book that took up his sabbatical and a lot of evenings and weekends at the office. Steinberg's project started in the late 1980s, when he noted there were no books on bankruptcy litigation -- the effort "turned out to be a lot more than I bargained for." The publisher had been after him to do a second edition, a plea that was intensified in 2005 when significant amendments were made to the federal bankruptcy code.
