FTC Hits Intel With Antitrust Suit
The Federal Trade Commission becomes the latest thorn in the side of the chip giant, which has already paid out nearly $3 billion this year over anticompetitive behavior.Growing Trend: Prosecution for Workers' Injuries, Deaths
A trend is emerging in the field of white-collar crime that is unrelated to recent, well-publicized financial scandals. Local and federal prosecutors nationwide are increasingly considering criminal charges against corporations and their managers in connection with workplace injuries and deaths. And the trend is not confined to one state or region, say attorneys Stephen G. Sozio and Earnest B. Gregory.Understand Predictive Coding Options
Recent cases have thrust predictive coding, also referred to as computer-assisted review, into the spotlight.

The current fad in high-profile products litigation involves suits by government entities to recover public expenditures from product manufacturers.

The landmark 1996 ruling found the government liable for breaking contracts with savings and loan associations as regulators tried to avert the 1980s S&L fiasco.
