Another judge -- the fourth so far -- has been hobbled as the New Jersey attorney general and the state judiciary investigate rampant ticket fixing in the Jersey City Municipal Court. Judge Victor Sison advised the city's mayor on Wednesday that he was taking an unpaid leave of absence. He did not give a reason, but sources familiar with the investigation say Sison may have had his personal parking tickets dismissed by another judge who has taken an unpaid leave of absence in the midst of the probe.Deal Watch: K&S, Womble counsel mid-size bank launch

Despite the economic downturn in 2008, law firms have opened new offices at a brisk pace so far this year. Dozens of law firms have planted flags on the West Coast, in the Midwest and the South, with a noticeable absence of expansion on the East Coast during the first half of 2008. Although many firms are taking a "hunker down and wait" approach during the sluggish economy, says consultant Ward Bower, others are seeing opportunities to grab smaller firms and lateral groups.More at Stake than Money: BP Explosion Plaintiff's Unsettling Suit Atypical in Mass Tort Litigation
The first trial stemming from the fatal explosion in 2005 at the BP refinery in Texas City kicks off next week in Galveston, but the verdict in the suit won't set a market rate for settlements, which is what typically happens in mass tort suits.
