After 'Shelby County' Ruling, Are Voting Rights Endangered?

In their Government and Election Law column, Jerry H. Goldfeder, special counsel at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, and Myrna Pérez, deputy director of the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, write that since the ruling in 'Shelby County,' there have already been at least six lawsuits in jurisdictions formerly covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, several suits brought before the decision have been dismissed or changed in form, and new election laws that probably would not have seen the light of day had the protections of Section 5 still been in effect are being proposed.

Ethics and Criminal Practice

Joel Cohen, a partner at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan and teacher of professional responsibility at Fordham Law School, and Danielle Alfonzo Walsman, an associate at the firm, offer this hypothetical: Your client has just phoned, after having been served with a grand jury subpoena. He is scared out of his wits, though, fortunately, not directly vulnerable in the inquiry. The subject or target or "person of interest" of the subpoena is a shady "Mr. Smith" that your client has dealt with, and with whom he has a continuing course of business. Your client is deeply concerned that he may be compelled to give incriminating testimony against Smith, and disturbed that if he doesn't quickly tip him off about the subpoena, Smith will be even more upset when he eventually learns of it. Your client asks, "What should I do?"

The BP Mess: Judging Judges' Impartiality

In their latest column, Joel Cohen and Katherine A. Helm turn their attention to the Gulf Coast oil spill and its impact on the perennial issue of when judges should recuse or be disqualified from hearing a particular case. They conclude that, not only is it unrealistic to think we can eradicate all judicial biases, but it is also unwise. Say Cohen and Helm: We want our judges to live in the real world, so that they can bring their life experiences and common sense to the table when deciding cases.

Anti-Patent Trend May Be Shifting Back Toward Greater Protection

Matthew W. Siegal, a partner at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, writes: The patent system has been facing a three-pronged attack from the legislative, judicial and executive branches over the last few years. Anti-patent fervor may be declining, however, as fourteen unions and even the Department of Commerce have complained to the Senate that the Patent Reform Act would "significantly weaken" patent protection. The difficulty in upholding a patent's validity in light of KSR might also be diminishing. Though not citable as precedent, Anderson Corp. v. Pella Corp. is one of the first post-KSR District Court findings of obviousness to be reversed by the Federal Circuit.
