The New Architecture for Accountant Liability	Top
In their Professional Liability column, solo practitioner Norman B. Arnoff and Sue C. Jacobs of Goodman & Jacobs write: Privity is one of the key and most dynamic concepts in the law of professional liability, especially with respect to accountants. By examining the law in sister states, it becomes more apparent "privity" generally is no longer the rule or determining fact in professional liability cases irrespective of the professional status.
Common Snags When Working With Attorneys in Mediation	Top
In their Mediation column, Family Mediation partners Abby Tolchinsky and Ellie Wertheim provide ways for parties, mediators and attorneys to avoid potential pitfalls, means to resolve conflicts, and techniques to identify various personalities to keep in mind when entering arbitration.

Outside Counsel: The Attorney-Client Privilege and Notice of Pendency	Top
Matrimonial appellate attorney Elliott Scheinberg discusses two issues which have received short shrift in family law: attorney-client privilege, which is often erroneously assumed to shield communications from adversarial eyes, and the rule unique to the First and Second departments that a notice of pendency is unavailable in matrimonial litigation notwithstanding that the statute imposes no such restriction.
