Law's Not Like the Sports World

Thanks to Title IX, the rise of women's sports has catapulted an entire generation of girls into athletic careers unheard of 30 years ago.

Firms hope the use of 360-degree reviews will help change the behavior of inconsiderate partners -- that they'll even vie for the good opinion of underlings. "We have a really competitive bunch," says Susman Godfrey's Robert Rivera. "There's how much business you bring in, how much [money] you win, and what do the associates think."

When Houston's Frontera Resources went public in 2005, it raised close to $90 million in an initial public offering -- with the twist that its IPO was made on London's Alternative Investment Market. General counsel Scott Harper says Frontera chose the AIM over NASDAQ for several reasons, including SOX compliance costs. Nineteen U.S. companies went public on the AIM in 2005 alone. But attorney L.

FCC Re-Auction of Licenses OK'd

A New York bankruptcy judge had no right to block the Federal Communications Commission from re-auctioning billions of dollars of radio spectrum licenses, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled. The issue hinged on whether the purpose of the spectrum auctions, after the original purchaser filed for bankruptcy, was primarily regulatory rather than fiscal.

John Cornyn, R-Texas, filed a bill Feb. 8 that would require corporations to file for bankruptcy where their principal place of business or their principal assets are located. It would prevent a corporation from filing for bankruptcy in a location that's simply the home of a subsidiary, or the state where it is incorporated.
