Insurance Law

Norman H. Dachs and Jonathan A. Dachs, partners at Shayne, Dachs, Corker, Sauer & Dachs, write: "It has for more than 100 years been recognized by the courts of this state that evidence that a defendant in a negligence or malpractice action carries liability insurance is generally inadmissible. Like Voldemort of Harry Potter fame, the word "insurance" has become known as "that which shall never be mentioned" at trial.

'NLJ 250' Shows Strong Law Firm Growth Continuing

The 250 largest law firms in the U.S. grew by 4 percent in 2006, a figure that was just shy of the prior year's gains, according to The National Law Journal's 29th annual survey. The results indicate a "healthy legal economy" spurred by strong mergers and acquisitions activity and big-ticket litigation, said one law firm consultant.
