Globe Trotters

As more U.S. companies do business overseas, they must protect their intellectual property in multiple jurisdictions. Washington, D.C., law offices are responding to the booming demand for worldwide representation both tactically and geographically. Sometimes the tricky part is just explaining U.S. law to incredulous foreign clients. Other times, it's the need to navigate the world's IP systems at double time.

Negligence in the Air: International Greenhouse Gas Emissions Litigation

John Fellas, a partner at Hughes Hubbard & Reed, writes that while both Comer v. Murphy Oil USA and Connecticut v. Am. Elec. Power Co. concern claims by U.S. plaintiffs against U.S. defendants for damages suffered in the United States, nothing in the logic of these decisions would limit their holdings to domestic victims, actors or territory. Greenhouse gas emissions generated in one country flow across national boundaries with ease and mix with the greenhouse gas emissions generated by other actors in other countries, and their impact - rising temperatures and sea levels and the resulting harm - could be felt anywhere. The result may be a wave of international climate change litigation in the U.S. courts.

Who Owns the Earth?

When DuPont went to trial in Beaumont, Texas, the deck was stacked against it, and the stakes high. The plaintiffs -- the McFaddins -- came from one of the most prominent families in Texas, and they had hired one of the state's best-known firms. Their claim: that the cancer-causing chemicals a DuPont plant was flushing through its wells into the earth had traveled beneath their land, had trashed their mineral rights, and would ultimately pollute their drinking water.

In Emotionally Revealing Book, Justice Thomas Is Most Critical of Himself

Clarence Thomas' brutally self-critical autobiography, "My Grandfather's Son," bears little resemblance to most early accounts of the book's contents, legal scholar David Garrow writes. To call "My Grandfather's Son" "emotionally revealing" would be the understatement of the year, Garrow says, and fatuous op-ed columnists who insistently declare that Thomas is just bitterly wallowing in self-pity have either failed to read the book or possess an undeclared bias that overwhelmed their critical faculties.

The Education of Clarence Thomas

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has slowly but surely begun to erase his poor public image, a feat that seemed unimaginable during his contentious Senate confirmation. He has defined a clearly personal jurisprudence anchored in an originalism that is receiving some scholarly respect. Combined with his off-the-bench pronouncements on self-help and duty, he is etching a new, more positive narrative of his life onto the public consciousness.

Mike's Friendly Microsoft Takeover

There are 96 lawsuits pending against Microsoft -- and counting -- in places as remote as Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Howell, Mich. And Michael D. Hausfeld, of Washington, D.C.'s Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll, has tried to get to know all the lawyers involved. Hausfeld has moved quickly to get most of the lawyers under his tent, as class action lawyers like to say -- with him in charge. In the race to the courthouse that often decides which lawyers get to control class actions, Hausfeld was part of the pack

DOJ Soups Up Wheels of Justice with 'Deferred Prosecution'

The Department of Justice scored a major victory with the conviction of ex-WorldCom chief Bernard Ebbers for lying to investors and government regulators. But even as government lawyers prepare for more high-profile trials against individual business executives, they are taking a very different tack against companies. Increasingly, federal prosecutors are willing to put criminal charges filed against corporations on hold in exchange for cooperation in investigations against allegedly crooked employees.
