Business Lawyers Gauge Impact of the Roberts Court
A panel discussing the future of business cases under a U.S. Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice John Roberts spoke before the Association of Business Trial Lawyers last week. Former Solicitor General Kenneth Starr, Howard Rice partner Jerome Falk Jr. and Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan echoed the same sentiment with varying perspectives: Under the Roberts Court, decisions have been increasingly narrow with justices agreeing much more with each other while making fewer rulings on cases.Splenda's Not Equal, But Is It Separate From Sugar?
A federal jury begins deliberating today in a false-advertising case that could transform the market for sugar substitutes. It's the Equal vs. Splenda case, or, as it's officially known, Merisant Co. v. McNeil Nutritionals. If Equal gets its way, Splenda will have to abandon its slogan that says the product is "made from sugar so it tastes like sugar" and could be hit with a verdict of more than $200 million. The Equal team already has some reason to celebrate with news of a court victory in France.Jury Finds George Fleming, Firm Breached Fiduciary Duty to Clients

Justice Department Takes Stand Against 'Pay to Delay' Drug Deals
The practice is dubbed "pay to delay," or "reverse settlement." It happens when a brand-name drug company gives a generic challenger a lot of money, and the generic company agrees to keep its product off the market for a set number of years. These settlements are controversial but have been perfectly legal. Several federal appellate circuits have blessed the practice, and the DOJ under President Bush also supported it. But now, the Justice Department under President Obama is switching sides.Trending Stories
