Antitrust Trade and Practice

Neal R. Stoll and Shepard Goldfein, partners at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, write: More likely than not, an Obama administration will be a moderating force at both the DOJ and FTC that, during the Bush administration, drifted toward opposite substantively and procedurally extreme positions. Given President-elect Obama's stated antitrust enforcement priorities, the DOJ will likely move substantively toward the FTC in the areas of merger and dominant-firm enforcement. Meanwhile, we are hopeful an Obama-appointed FTC chairman will serve as a moderating force and help restore procedural fairness at the agency.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may be considered either an "accidental injury" or an "occupational disease" under the workers' compensation statute depending on the circumstances, and when the facts of a case straddle both categories a worker is entitled to file both claims; in the narrow band of accident cases that result in latent or insidiously progressive injury, the accident statute of limitations does not begin to run until the worker knows or should know that he has sustained a compensable

Attorney's $2 Million 9/11 Fee Called 'Shocking, Unconscionable'

Laura Balemian's husband died in the World Trade Center, and she received one of the largest awards from the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund: $6.7 million. But she then paid out what may be the highest legal fee to Thomas Troiano: a one-third contingent fee of over $2 million. Now the propriety of the fee is before the courts, and the situation is uncomfortable for trial lawyers' groups, who support contingent fee arrangements but want to avoid being seen as profiting from the terrorist attacks.

Speak Wisely

Ot long ago, U.S. Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg described the first oral argument she made to the Supreme Court, when she worked as an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer in the early 1970s.

Terminated Calif. Labor Lawyer Fights Back Against Agency

In February, California labor lawyer Miles Locker suffered an undignified end to his 21-year career -- terminated by the state Department of Labor Standards and Enforcement's new chief counsel for charges that boil down to disloyalty and insubordination. Spurred by his dismissal, labor lawyers are prepping for public hearings at the state Capitol next week.
