Big Suits

Influential critics have forced Michael Powell's deregulatory show to take a hiatus. In a two-to-one decision on June 24, judges at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit threw out the controversial media ownership rules that the Federal Communications Commission issued in 2003.

When the SEC went after Biopure and its executives for misleading public statements, the company escaped without financial repercussions but the GC had to pay a $40,000 fine.
