Supreme Court Decision Gives Appeal Judges More Latitude

A U.S. Supreme Court opinion is reverberating in two South Florida cases blaming Coca-Cola and Chiquita for brutal killings by Colombian paramilitary groups. The high court's Iqbal v. Ashcroft opinion in May has already worked in Coca-Cola's favor. The 5-4 decision was read by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to mean judges must perform a sniff test on civil litigation, checking for specific allegations and not broad accusations.

N.Y. High Court Upholds Governor's Power to Fill Vacancy

New York Gov. David A. Paterson has the constitutional power to fill a vacancy in the office of lieutenant governor, the state Court of Appeals ruled 4-3 Tuesday, marking a stunning turnaround from the rulings of two lower courts.

Fish & Neave has sat on the porch and held hands with Boston-based Ropes & Gray, but it hasn't yet decided to go to the altar. That's what firm Chairman Jesse Jenner told lawyers and staff at a firmwide meeting in New York Tuesday. Jenner said the meeting was called to dispel a flurry of rumors that a merger was to take place within 10 days. "We've had preliminary talks with Ropes & Gray, but there's no deal," Jenner said.

Arbitration Option Is Denied in NYSE Employment Dispute

In a decision that differs sharply from one reached by a state appeals court last fall, a Manhattan federal judge has ruled that a former employee of Credit Suisse First Boston is bound by an employment agreement and cannot seek arbitration of an employment dispute before the New York Stock Exchange.

Fox Entertainment Group has been rebuffed in its attempt to recoup almost $280,000 in attorney fees that it spent staving off a copyright suit that a judge agreed was frivolous.

Chicago Firms Raise Associate Salaries to $135,000

Many Chicago law firms are raising salaries for first-years to $135,000. Though some firms cite last year's strong financial performance as a main reason for the pay increases, others say they need to give raises to stay competitive. "Law firms tend to be like lemmings," says the chairman of one firm's compensation committee. But Bill Chamberlain, assistant dean for career strategies at Northwestern University's law school, is concerned the higher salaries put pressure on associates to bill more hours.
