Roberts as Chief Justice: Not Just One Vote out of Nine

As he stood before William Rehnquist's coffin last week, it seemed to sink in for John Roberts that he could soon be running the Supreme Court, rather than starting as the most junior justice, whose main special duty would have been to open the door when a knock interrupts the Court's private conferences. The new job Roberts has signed up for has sweeping, if often unstated, significance, and does not offer the chance his predecessor had to develop his conservative jurisprudence off to the side.

State v. Denofa

Here, where the evidence clearly raised a question of whether the death and the injuries that caused it had occurred in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, the trial judge's failure to charge the jury on the element of territorial jurisdiction was plainly erroneous, despite the fact that defendant had presented no proofs or argument regarding the locus of the crime, had not requested a charge on the subject, and had not raised the issue of jurisdiction in the trial court.

How a Law Firm Learned to Train Its Leaders

When it comes to identifying and developing top leadership talent, law firms are way behind the curve.

Model Behavior

Any formula that slices legal budgets is likely to seduce in-house counsel, particularly when company higher-ups are looking to trim the bottom line. And outsourcing -- diverting legal work to companies other than law firms -- is exploding in popularity among corporate counsel, led by chemical-producing giant DuPont's so-called Legal Model. It's a seductive idea, but some say it's far from risk-free.

All Law Firms Are Not Alike: The Top Areas Where Firms Differ

The irony that unfolded during two recent phone calls, which occurred within the span of an hour, was rather remarkable. The first conversation was with a partner who had been targeted by another law firm because of his unique experience and some special opportunities, i.e., clients it could essentially hand him, if he were to ultimately come on board. Neither Sigmund Freud nor Tony Robbins could have found the key to unlock the vault in his mind where reason was stored, as he summarily proclaimed that "all law firms are alike" and stopped the inquiry in its tracks.

The state Supreme Court term that opens next week will see the justices grappling with such diverse issues as charitable immunity for schools that employ child molesters, defenses available to battered women and the viability of a 26-year-old precedent that allows no-compete clauses in doctors' employment contracts. The docket also includes a case that will hit close to home with lawyers: one that questions the continued viability of the "case within a case" method of proving legal malpractice cases.
