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.

But lawyers at a few large U.S. firms say they'll eventually -- and reluctantly -- follow Jones Day's lead.

'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. And while law firms used to base their mergers on geography and size for size's sake, they now take a much more strategic approach, said another consultant.

Lead Paint Suit Breaks New Ground, Sparks Government Investigation

Days after Maryland's highest court likened a federally funded study that used healthy children to test the effectiveness of lead paint abatement to the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, the Department of Health and Human Services opened an investigation into the study. The court told researchers who conduct nontherapeutic studies they have a duty of care toward participants, and can be liable for damages if that duty is breached.
