2nd Circuit Upholds Disbarred Lawyer's Conviction in Terror Case
Disbarred lawyer Lynne Stewart had her bail revoked Tuesday as a federal appeals court upheld her conviction and directed a review of the short prison sentence she was given for providing material support to a terror conspiracy. A divided 2nd Circuit ordered U.S. District Judge John Koeltl to take a second look at the sentence of two years and four months he set in 2006, a stretch that Stewart observed to supporters afterwards she could do "standing on my head." The government had asked for 30 years in prison.Can Trademark Law Help Minority Groups Eliminate Negative Stereotypes?
Social movements and the law do not always see eye to eye, but a group of Native American activists may have found a way to make the law work to their benefit.

John Gibbons, a retired GOP appointee to the 3rd Circuit and name partner in a corporate law firm, seems an unlikely advocate for Guantanamo Bay detainees' rights. But today, he will fill that role before the U.S. Supreme Court, as the justices get their first chance to consider whether federal courts can review suspected al-Qaida members' detentions. Gibbons says he has no qualms about walking into one of the term's most contentious and closely watched cases.Counterfeit Drugs Create a Bitter Pill for Patients Overseas
In the United States, the most commonly counterfeited drugs are "lifestyle" medicines like Viagra, but in poor countries, it's the life-saving drugs that are fakes. Almost half of medicines in developing countries are counterfeit, according to the World Health Organization. Big Pharma doesn't like to talk about the issue, and authorities in poor countries don't have the resources to fight it. Even when they do, counterfeiters can always find a cheaper, less regulated place to go. Is a solution possible?Almontaser, plaintiff-appellant v.
