Post-Sept. 11: More Bucks, Bodies and Bureaucracy

The French have a saying - the more things change, the more they stay the same. I would have printed the adage in its original tongue, but I wouldn`t want to be accused by our president of being an intercontinental: code for being a smarty-pants and unpatriotic to boot.

Brobeck Slims Staff as Merger Talk Continues

Continuing to slim down, Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison has axed office administrators in Austin, Texas, and Irvine; a third administrator in the Dallas office has voluntarily resigned. The Jan. 3 departures come as the firm continues merger discussions with Philadelphia's thousand-lawyer Morgan, Lewis & Bockius. More cuts from the firm's staff of 600 are possible, say several sources close to the firm, and another wave of partner defections may be in the offing in the next several weeks.

Decision in Patent Case Could Reverse 20 Years of Precedent

At first glance, Knorr-Bremse v. Dana Corp. seems like many other cases that come before the Federal Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals -- one manufacturer suing another for the infringement of a patent. But the case, scheduled to be heard by the full court on Thursday, could be the catalyst for overturning 20 years of case law.
