Chicago lawyer named Canadian ambassador
2009-09-23 23:55:00 Among the best jobs in the world has to be that of U.S. Ambassador to Canada. It's not far from home. They speak the language (for the most part). There's hardly any chance of a nasty diplomatic feud, much less a war. So lots of Chicagoans are happy for their friend David Jacobson, who's been confirmed as ambassador to America's biggest trade partner. Shia Kapos has the dish on her blog....

New Zealand Lawyer Exposes Official Cover Up of Killings In Sathya Sai Baba
2009-08-20 01:33:00 Long before worldwide allegations of Sathya Sai Baba?s serial sexual abuse of boys and young men began to surface in earnest ? circa AD 2000 ? notable individuals shocked by signs of cover up ? started to analyze situations, and leave the Sathya Sai Baba camp. For an example of early investigators, see the article by Warren C. Pyke LLN (Hons.) LLM (VUW), Barrister, New Zealand 3-3-1993: Sathya Sai Baba Murders Evidence (A New Zealand Barrister Analyses Police Evidence). Another earlier investigator of various serious allegations against Sathya Sai Baba was Terry Gallagher, an agricultural scientist and businessman who, in consequence of his findings, resigned as head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Australia.

Kane's lawyer implies he wasn't drinking, attacked no one and see
2009-08-11 22:46:00 The Buffalo News reported Tuesday afternoon that Patrick Kane's attorney, Paul Cambria Jr., is saying that he has evidence that will completely clear his client of charges of robbery and assault of a cab driver early Sunday morning.Cambria said that he will ask that the felony hearing scheduled for Monday in Buffalo be rescheduled until later in the week. That could stop Kane from attending next week's U. S. Olympic Orientation Camp at Seven Bridges Ice Rink in Woodridge, where he would be certain to be deluged by Chicago media."When all of this is put into perspective, it's going to appear vastly different than the first impression," he said....

My advice is pretty simple. Study hard, get killer grades, and learn your languages, both spoken and written. I should also tell them not to be a creep, but I figure either they are or they are not. But even these things do not (especially these days) mean you will get hired and they certainly do not mean you will be effective. For that there are the intangibles. My firm recently went through a massive interview process for a legal assistant and, though this may sound weird, that process is pretty much the same...

Lawyer who filed suit for a client today is sued himself
2009-07-08 01:47:00 Just now, a slip-and-fall case caught my eye--not because the actual case was surprising, but because of its interesting tie to another case filed on the same day. The first case is of a woman suing the Chicago Housing Authority for a slip-and-fall incident that occurred in July 2008, on the first floor of a CHA building. Georgia Jackson is alleging that she fell on an "unnatural accumulation of water that had leaked from the first floor ceiling, and formed a puddle on the first floor of the Lincoln Perry Annex Building Council." Hmm... A leaky ceiling in a CHA building. Who's surprised?...

Get a lawyer for the day.
2008-10-01 20:02:00 One of the difficulties of working for a law firm is the up-and-down nature of the practice. Some days just cruise on by, easily and on schedule with no surprises. Other days, the mail brings what seems like 157,000 different things that need to be handled, combined with notices of court hearings that can't be moved and client calls that are urgent.It's difficult to manage a schedule like that; lawyers learn to be flexible and work ahead whenever possible. That flexibility can now apply to staffing a law firm, too. The Law Offices of Ilene H. Cohen, home of the temporary attorney New York, can give law firms lawyers on a temp basis -- lawyers that are able to handle motions, depositions, EBTs, hearing, and other matters in some (not all) state and federal courts.The Cohen temp lawyers are admitted in New York's Eastern and Southern District federal courts, New Jersey's federal court, New York state courts, and a variety of federal appellate courts ranging from the Court of Fe...

So You Want To Be An International (China) Lawyer? Part III
2008-09-30 15:36:00 I am frequently emailed by college students, law students and even practitioners, seeking advice on what it takes to become an international lawyer. It seems the lawyer behind the Counterfeit Chic blog (an excellent blog, BTW) gets even more of these regarding "fashion law" and she gives answers in her post, entitled, "Fashion Law." How can I get into fashion law?" Several times each week -- more during interview season -- a Counterfeit Chic reader asks me this question. I've heard from aspiring law students, current law students, recent graduates, law firm associates disillusioned with their current jobs, law partners interested in a new group of clients, and former lawyers who've spent quite enough time at home changing diapers, thank you very much. I've received messages from parents seeking advice for their children, colleagues seeking advice for their students, and innamorati seeking advice for the objects of their affection.

Ecuador Lawyer Pablo Fajardo Says Chevron Ecuador Case Could End In 2011
2008-09-24 04:51:00 This is new and extraordinary news, considering that both sides expected a ruling this year. Well, someone's going to have to finance Steve Donziger for another three years! By Mercedes Alvaro - Dow Jones Newswires, September 16, 2008: 5:47 PM QUITO - (Dow Jones)- A five-year-old environmental-damage trial in Ecuador against U.S. oil company Chevron Corp. (CVX) could take at least two or three more years, lawyers said Tuesday. The delay is expected after objections to an April report from a court- appointed expert were received by a court in Lago Agrio. The report prepared by Richard Cabrera, a geologist and environmental consultant, recommended that Chevron pay at least $8.3 billion, and maybe as much as $16 billion, in compensation for environmental damage in Ecuador. Chevron is facing the lawsuit in Ecuador for alleged contamination by its Texaco unit in the Amazon region of Lago Agrio. The company is accused of having used out-of-date technology that led to environmenta...

When she was first offered the part by him she had declined it.But after a lot of deliberation, Chopra managed to get The Namesake starlet going in for the role.

Danone-Wahaha And Why You Need A Real Lawyer For China.
2008-08-07 18:24:00 Brad Luo over at the China Business Law Blog just posted on a recent Chinese court decision in the never-ending conflict between Wahaha and Danone. The post is entitled “Wahaha” Ain’t French, and It Belongs to China," and it once again shows why I earlier remarked on how "we love that dispute because within it lies just about every China business or business law issue one might confront." This new ruling touches on two important legal issues, one very particularized and one very general. Let's start with the particulars. The recent court decision is the Hangzhou Intermediate People’s Court's ruling upholding the Hangzhou Arbitration Commission's December, 2007, ruling that the “Wahaha” trademark belongs to the China based Wahaha Company, not to the joint venture between Danone and Wahaha, of which Danone is the majority shareholder. Both this ruling and that of the Arbitration panel are believed to have been based on Danone's failure to secure Chinese government...

The Elvis Presleys."I'm thinking about that because I noticed this weekend, while listening to my iPod during grocery shopping that The Def Leppards may have borrowed a bit from The The Archies:"Pour your sugar on me, baby!" Sing it, The The Archies. Now, here's your slightly-harder rocking version:If you're wondering what kind of music collection includes both The The Archies and The Def Leppards, it's the kind of music collection I have, one that also includes the complete CD of Baby Einstein music.Thinking The... is a short entry to kill time between larger entries.

UK: A Top Lawyer Calls For Elements Of Islamic Law Be Introduced
2008-07-07 19:21:00 Europe is headed for destruction...Another top British barrister has called for elements of Islamic Sharia law to be introduced into the UK.Former chairman of Britain's Bar Council Stephen Hockman QC said last week that "It is vital and inevitable that sharia will become part of British law in some shape or form."Given the world situation and our own substantial Muslim population it is vital that we now look at ways to integrate Muslim culture into our own traditions... Otherwise we will find that there is a significant section of our society which is increasingly alienated, with very dangerous results."His comments follow similar remarks from Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers (England and Wales most senior judge) who said that Sharia could play a role in family and financial matters for Muslims. Lord Philips had discussed how elements of Sharia had been misrepresented and misunderstood by the press and public: "Severe physical punishments" he said, were unacceptable, but the Islami...
