California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has asked federal judges to stay their order demanding a state plan by Sept. 18 for reducing the prison population by 40,000 over two years, signaling his intent to take the issue to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Sun Shines on Select Law Firms

Five years ago, Sun Microsystems worked with about 400 outside law firms. In the last few months, Sun has dramatically pared down its roster of outside counsel to nine firms that handle all its routine work.
