Star Search

Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati didn't set out to launch a huge practice group when it hired partner Ron Shulman to start the IP litigation group. However, as demand for IP litigation has increased, the firm has tried to speed up the group's growth. Wilson can't seem to move as fast as its competition in attracting top talent.

Death Under Glass

Thanks to TV's "CSI," jurors expect forensic evidence so exact and complete that they will immediately grasp the details of any crime scene. A new Maryland exhibition, "Visible Proofs: Forensic Views of the Body," details the history and science of forensic medicine, which interprets the facts in civil or criminal law cases, particularly when they involve a suspicious or unexplained death. "Death is veiled to us," says Michael Sappol, the exhibit's curator. "It's hard to show and hard to understand."

'Patent Trolls,' Be Warned

Rodger A. Sadler and Robert A. Cote, a scrappy pair of IP litigators at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, have declared war on "patent trolls" -- shell companies formed to press infringement claims in the cause of their sole assets, questionable patents often bought from desperate entrepreneurs.
