Astor's Son, Lawyer Guilty of Looting Estate

After 20 weeks of trial and on its 12th day of deliberations, a Manhattan jury yesterday handed down a verdict that, unless overturned on appeal, will send Brooke Astor's 85-year-old son, Anthony D. Marshall, to prison for at least a year for looting his mother's estate. Further, the result of the criminal trial almost certainly will reduce Mr. Marshall's recovery in a separate surrogate's proceeding from the $132 million fortune of the society figure and philanthropist who died in 2007 at the age of 105.

In a socially conservative profession in which established attorneys and law students alike still agonize over whether to come out in job interviews, and where small firms seem to own the gay rights legal niche, Chicago-based Jenner & Block is one large firm that's embracing its lesbian and gay attorneys -- and finding that very good for business.

O'Connor Sits on 9th Circuit Panel

Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor arrived in San Francisco this week to sit by designation on a three-judge 9th Circuit panel Wednesday and today. Also in town was Justice Anthony Kennedy, O'Connor's successor to the Court's swing vote position.

Another Circuit Court Kicks Judge Real Off Case

In a rare move, the Federal Circuit booted a trial judge off a patent infringement case Friday. Coming down hard on U.S. District Judge Manuel Real's judicial skills, the panel threw out Microsoft's 2006 win over Research Corporation Technologies -- and ordered that another judge take the case. Just two weeks ago, a 9th Circuit panel took a big class action against American Honda Motor away from Real. The controversial Los Angeles judge has now been removed from at least eight cases by the 9th Circuit.
