Freedman granted a motion for summary judgment filed by the team's owner, Sterling Mets, in an action initiated by SportsChannel Associates, effectively allowing the team to transfer pay-television rights to Time Warner and Comcast beginning next year. The sole issue, according to Freedman's decision, was the definition of "Mets Games."

Jackson Fan Sues After Finding Concert Seats No 'Thriller'

At a Michael Jackson concert in Madison Square Garden, Dana Gross found herself the unlucky holder of a ticket that let her hear the show but not see it. Gross and her friends -- and perhaps 7,800 other fans at two concerts in 2001 -- were seated behind apparent sets for the show -- which, Gross' lawyer says, completely obstructed the stage. Gross' luck has changed somewhat, now that a New York judge has allowed her suit against Ticketmaster to go forward as a class action.

Ugly Divorce

When Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy snagged the role as creditors committee counsel in the Pacific Gas & Electric Company bankruptcy this spring, it was a coup for the New York firm. To win the high-profile-and surely lucrative-assignment, it had to beat five competitors.

Employers' Counsel See 'Comprehensive' Results Against Union Tactic

O'Melveny & Meyers' Robert Welsh and F. Curt Kirschner recently won their first jury verdict, for more than $17 million, in what they say is a growing area of their practice: suing unions over their "corporate campaign" tactics that strike at a company's public image.
