Nancy Grace, the host of a self-titled legal show on CNN Headline News, "played fast and loose" with her ethical duties as a Georgia prosecutor in 1990, the 11th Circuit has ruled.

Amid the furor over the Sinclair Broadcast Group's plan to air a blatantly partisan documentary attack on John Kerry just before the presidential election, little attention was paid to the tough line-drawing of deciding whether Sinclair would, in fact, have broken the law.

The House of Representatives' Judiciary Committee held a hearing Wednesday on the outsize effect the U.S. Supreme Court's Ashcroft v. Iqbal ruling has had on civil litigation. The ruling, which requires plaintiffs to plead specific factual allegations in their complaints, has already been cited in almost 3,000 lower court rulings in just five months on the books.

Though manufacturer Merck & Co.'s strategy is to defend the suits one by one, many can't help but see this trial as setting the tone for the rest of the litigation. Lead plaintiffs attorney Mark Lanier admits that, historically, plaintiffs lawyers lose the first few mass torts cases and learn from their mistakes. "General wisdom has it that I should lose," he says, "but I'm never one to bet on general wisdom."
