Turning the Corner: The Worst Appears to Be Over for Texas Firms	Top
Taken as a whole, the 25 highest-grossing Texas-based firms' gross revenue was flat in 2010, compared to 2009, when the total gross revenue of the 25 top firms declined by 3.7 percent. Total net income for the 25 firms also was flat in 2010, compared to 2009. Kane Russell Coleman & Logan of Dallas moved onto the top 25 list for the first time.
Discipline	Top
A Dallas lawyer has been placed on probation for two years, a Denison lawyer has resigned in lieu of discipline, and a Bexar County lawyer has received a public reprimand, the State Bar of Texas reported recently.
Newsmakers	Top
The Unarrestable Criminal	Top
The unarrestable criminal is a person whose intentions are as unilateral, self-interested and destructive as any robber, but whose crimes are not defined in statutes, writes James Dolan, M.A.. The UC assumes others are resources to be exploited instead of centers of feeling, thought and intentions of their own. Instead of securing what he wants for himself in a straightforward manner, he waits to take what others have. When evaluated by intention and motive, the UC is indistinguishable from the person who violates statutes. Who is the UC in a firm?
Review of Orders Denying Arbitration	Top
It used to be that because of a quirk in Texas law, attorneys seeking review of orders denying arbitration frequently had to do double duty and file an interlocutory appeal and a mandamus petition, writes Allyson N. Ho. But much to the relief of lawyers and clients alike, that's no longer the case.
Commentary: Obtaining a Temporary Injunction on a Noncompete	Top
An employer's lawyer appearing in a Dallas court seeking a temporary injunction to enforce a covenant not to compete needs to be armed with the law and be aware of some strategic considerations, writes Art Lambert. The general rule in Texas is that covenants in restraint of trade are unenforceable. Texas Business and Commerce Code 15.05 declares, "Every contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade or commerce is unlawful."
