Getting Fired: Don't Deal With the In-House Counsel and Deal With It Publicly?
Heaven forbid, IF you get fired, don't talk with the in-house counsel and deal with it in a public manner? Uh oh, that's not what an in-house lawyer wants to hear ...Icahn Blasts ImClone Management
In the wake of a judge's ruling that stripped ImClone Systems of key exclusive patent rights, the biotech's biggest rival wasted little time taking advantage of the situation. After the market closed Tuesday, biotech giant Amgen Inc. said it had licensed the same technology to which ImClone lost its exclusive rights. Meanwhile, in what could lead to a full-blown power struggle, newly elected ImClone director Carl Icahn blasted management for the patent loss and for ImClone's "sorry record" in general.Class Certification Overturned in Enron Shareholder Suit
Plaintiffs lawyer Bill Lerach says that Enron shareholders will ask the Supreme Court to review a March 19 opinion from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that put the brakes on the trial in Mark Newby, et al. v.

If ImClone reverses course and drops its appeal of the patent case, it would be a concession to one of Icahn's public demands.Cite as: Glacken v.

Another big bank has entered into a multi-million dollar settlement with federal and state authorities investigating bid-rigging in the municipal bond market.

Trustee's Claim of Protection Denied
A New York appellate panel held that a bank was liable for its failure to diversify investments held in its trust. Although the beneficiaries agreed to a waiver stating the investment would consist entirely of IBM stock and holding the bank harmless in the event of a drop in value, the panel ruled the waiver did not insulate the bank from liability.Trending Stories
