The "two-disease" rule developed by Pennsylvania courts in the wake of the asbestos litigation explosion does not need to be applied to the fen-phen arena, a Philadelphia judge has ruled.

Lipitor Class Certification Denied
A Philadelphia judge has declined to certify as a nationwide class those Rite Aid customers who purchased what may have been counterfeit Lipitor in 2003. Judge Mark I.

Additionally, the group wants secure parking for prosecutors, particularly those who handle dangerous criminal cases. "Prosecutors are on the front lines like federal agents; they are the face of federal law enforcement," says former federal prosecutor Peter Prieto.Long-Distance Flight to Diversity
Minority lawyers think that Anne McNamara, general counsel of American Airlines, is doing what she does best. In her case, that includes pressuring law firms to honor their commitment to diversity. "Our way is to motivate law firms through peer pressure, rather than do a lot of exhortation," McNamara said. "Lawyers are nothing if not competitive."Trending Stories
