Judge Rebuffs AP, Lets 'Hope' Artist Swap Lawyers

It's fair to say that artist Shepard Fairey threw something of a wrench into his copyright fight with The Associated Press last month when he admitted lying -- and then fabricating and destroying evidence to cover up the truth -- about which AP photo he used as the basis for his iconic "Obama Hope" poster.

Patent Rules Put on Hold by Va. Judge

Patent lawyers began breathing again Wednesday, as the specter of new patent rules was chased away, at least for a little while, by a Virginia court.

That's what firm Chairman Jesse Jenner told lawyers and staff at a firmwide meeting in New York Tuesday. Jenner said the meeting was called to dispel a flurry of rumors that a merger was to take place within 10 days. "We've had preliminary talks with Ropes & Gray, but there's no deal," Jenner said.

Pro Bono Report 2008: A Silver Lining to Economic Downturn?

Is it possible that, for once, pro bono will be safe from a recession? Nationally, 2007 was a banner year for pro bono work. The average Am Law 100 firm logged 25,893 hours, up 13.2 percent from 2006. Total hours grew to 4.8 million -- a record. A number of reasons explain why firms saw their pro bono numbers grow.
