Retrial on Tap for Former Brocade CEO Reyes Over Stock Option Backdating

Gregory Reyes isn't out of legal trouble yet. Federal prosecutors have decided to retry him for securities fraud related to stock option backdating, say three lawyers familiar with the matter. A jury convicted the former Brocade CEO in 2007, but the 9th Circuit threw out the verdict this year, citing deliberate misstatements on the part of prosecutors.

Parker on Wednesday made public a letter he sent to Delta CEO Gerald Grinstein that included an $8 billion buy offer. Grinstein wasn't interested in Parker's previous offer and didn't seem interested in this one.

Relief for Domain Poisoning

Cybersquatters who try to steal Internet domain names from their legitimate owners have long plagued online commerce. But law and order is now taking hold in the digital Wild West. A 5-year-old arbitration program has resolved more than 13,000 domain name disputes, with 81 percent of them decided in favor of trademark holders.

Many Candidates, Few Lawyers: Specialists Hard to Come By

When Sen. John Kerry set out to hire a lawyer for his 2004 presidential campaign, he turned to Democratic election maven Robert Bauer. So did Sen. Joseph Lieberman. In fact, Rep. Richard Gephardt chose Bauer's firm as well.

Chalk it up to the fact that relatively few lawyers specialize in the arcane area of election law.
