Arbitration Enforcement up to Arbitrator, Federal Judge Rules

An arbitrator -- and not the courts -- must decide whether to enforce an arbitration agreement where one side claims the other violated a promise to meet and confer before seeking arbitration. A U.S. District Court judge in Philadelphia ruled that a court can only refuse to stay the arbitration proceedings if it finds either that the issue is not subject to arbitration, or the party has not agreed to arbitrate its claims.

Trial Advocacy

Ben Rubinowitz, a partner at Gair, Gair, Conason, Steigman, Mackauf, Bloom & Rubinowitz and an adjunct professor at Hofstra University School of Law and Cardozo Law School, and Evan Torgan, a member of Torgan & Cooper, write: Some trial lawyers will argue that admitting a weakness is a bad decision, that the jurors will view the confession as a self-serving event. Since the trial lawyer will never admit that he should lose the case, the jurors will be skeptical and cynical of the attempt to enhance credibility by admitting a weakness. We disagree. By volunteering a weakness, you will be in a position to have the jurors conclude that you, as an advocate, have gone out of your way to present the whole picture to them and not just the favorable parts of your case. Few things have the potential to hurt more than concealing a weakness that should have been disclosed.

Making Room for Rooftop Wireless Antennas in New York

David E. Bronston, a member of Cozen O'Connor, and Paul J. Proulx, an associate at the firm, write: While seemingly everyone utilizes a wireless telephone in one way or another, the infrastructure necessary to support such services, like most types of infrastructure, is often subject to a "Not in My Backyard" reaction. In the case of wireless roof antenna installations, local reaction is most aptly described in the words used by Supreme Court Justice Alan D. Scheinkman, who, in a recent Westchester County decision, characterized the case before him as a "Not on My Roof" dispute.

Scrushy Lawyers Argue Sarbanes-Oxley Law Too Vague

Scrushy last year became the first chief executive charged under the law.
