Souter's Timing: Was it Age or Politics?
Supreme Court Justice David Souter, when asked if he would have retired now if Republican presidential candidate John McCain had been elected last November instead of Barack Obama, reportedly said that he "probably" would. With that answer, Souter does not directly refute commentary that he waited to retire until a president more to his liking than George W. Bush would be in a position to replace him. One expert identifies Souter as "a prime example" of justices who time their retirements for strategic reasons.Merger Finally Paying Off for Gray Cary, Now Enjoying Good Times

In a move sure to gladden consultants preaching the virtues of cross-selling, O'Melveny partner Mark Holscher, who negotiated Lee's release in September, passed the scientist to an IP partner who helped negotiate a deal for a four-hour TV miniseries.Ginsburg Says She Does Not Like Being Supreme Court's Sole Woman
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she dislikes being "all alone on the Court" nearly a year after the retirement of Sandra Day O'Connor. Speaking at Suffolk Law School on Friday, Ginsburg said there is not enough female perspective on the high court. "We have very different backgrounds," Ginsburg said of herself and O'Connor.

An Italian criminal court judge has convicted three Google executives, including chief legal officer David Drummond, for footage on the company's now defunct video-sharing platform that prosecutors say violated that country's privacy laws.
