Percentage of Women, Minority Attorneys at Texas Firms Holds Steady
Firms with the largest Texas offices shed some lawyers between July 1, 2008, and July 1, 2009, but the percentages of minority and female lawyers didn't slip. While 24 of the 26 firms with the most lawyers in Texas lost 2.9 percent of their lawyers, the percentage of minority lawyers increased by 0.6 percent and the percentage of female lawyers rose by 0.2 percent.

The decision gave both sides of the case fodder to declare victory -- but some lawyers said the ruling could lead to the filing of even more suits against cell phone companies in Washington's trial court.MDL Panel: 'Traffic Cop' Seeing Its Power Grow
A federal panel whose members are handpicked by the chief justice of the United States to consolidate federal civil cases for discovery is playing an increasingly influential role in how and where large numbers of complex civil cases are litigated throughout the country.
