Consultants also will review judicial security, inmate transports and high-risk trial procedures. The new study follows a preliminary assessment by the National Center for State Courts, which has examined security in Washington, Florida and Puerto Rico.

Quattrone Conviction Reversed by 2nd Circuit

The 2nd Circuit on Monday reversed the conviction of former Credit Suisse First Boston star investment banker Frank Quattrone. Citing flawed jury instructions, the panel vacated guilty verdicts against Quattrone for obstruction of justice, obstructing an agency proceeding and witness tampering.

Collection Lawyers Fleeced in Check Scams

At least two sizeable Connecticut law firms have fallen victim to sophisticated international swindlers posing as major companies in need of debt collection help. Lawyer Daniel Blinn, who heads the Consumer Law Group, has been targeted with business solicitations, and recognizes the e-mail scam as a variation on other schemes that have targeted the elderly and defenseless.
