Mintz Levin Loses Bid to Up Diversity

In 2005, Mintz Levin unveiled a major initiative to enhance the firm's diversity, hiring 12 predominantly minority labor and employment attorneys in one fell swoop. Now, however, the attorneys have scattered to competing firms, leaving in their wake questions about how the much-touted group could fall apart in such a short period of time.

Corporate Securities

John C. Coffee, Jr., Professor of Law at Columbia University Law School, writes that the WorldCom decision makes clear that Rule 176 provides no real protection from Section 11 liability, and the SEC's "securities offerings reforms" did nothing to change that.

Role of Non-Party Physician Witness in Personal Injury Litigation

In their Medical Malpractice Defense column, John L.A. Lyddane and Barbara D. Goldberg, partners at Martin Clearwater & Bell, write: A well-balanced defense may require the participation of non-party treating physicians, and their presence and testimony at trial could communicate a legitimacy which is not conveyed by either the parties or their expert witnesses.
