White-Collar Crime columnists Robert J. Anello and Richard F. Albert write: White-collar criminal enforcement will continue to evolve in the year ahead, but some predictions can be made based on year one of the Trump administration.

It is submitted that an applicant for interim or emergency relief should only be required to establish that immediate loss or damage will result if relief is not granted, that it has an arguable case on the merits and that the equities are balanced in its favor. “Irreparable harm” and “likelihood of success” should not be an arbitrator's guiding star.

Employment Law columnists Jeffrey S. Klein and Nicholas J. Pappas write: Once the only reliable statutory argument for federal-question jurisdiction in a trade secret dispute, the CFAA now acts as a complement to the DTSA by protecting sensitive information from a different perspective.

Scott E. Mollen, a partner at Herrick, Feinstein and an adjunct professor at St. John's University School of Law discusses “Fleetwood Commons Inc. v.

In their Federal E-Discovery column, Christopher Boehning and Daniel J. Toal discuss 'Winfield v. City of New York', a decision which adds to the growing body of law that as long as a producing party's use of technology-assisted review tools, including predictive coding, is reasonable and proportional in the context of a matter, the mechanics of such efforts should not be open to scrutiny by an opposing party.
