Courtroom Pulpit

California prosecutor James Brazelton invoked God's will 13 years ago while arguing for the death penalty in a double murder trial.

N.J. First-Year Associate Pay Pushed Up 7 Percent

New Jersey firms bumped up first-year associate salaries this year to an average of $106,410. The fact that salaries, which had been increasing only modestly since the late 1990s, are entering a boom phase means law firms are busy and need to staff up.
