Crisis in the Criminal Court	Top
Cyrus R. Vance Jr., the New York County district attorney, writes: The Criminal Court of the City of New York is one of the busiest courts in the world. Despite its enormous caseload, the New York State Legislature authorized, back in 1982, a mere 107 judges to handle this docket for all five boroughs, many of whom have already been reassigned to fill the needs at the Supreme Court level. We plainly need more judges.
Holding the Line on Municipal Liability for Constitutional Violations	Top
In his Civil Rights and Civil Liberties column, Christopher Dunn, the associate legal director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, reviews last week's Supreme Court ruling on the circumstances under which plaintiffs alleging constitutional violations by cities could win on the theory that a city had failed to train its employees properly, in this case, training for prosecutors about their obligations to disclose exculpatory materials to criminal defendants.
Privilege Issues: Client Use of E-Mail to Communicate With Attorney	Top
In his Evidence feature, Michael J. Hutter of Powers & Santola looks at ways to avoid confidentiality and waivers risks, and discusses recent decisions involving a technology-challenged couple whose son helped them with e-mails from their lawyer, a wife who gained access to the account her husband used to contact his divorce lawyer, and a woman who communicated with her attorney on an e-mail account that was also freely used by her children.

Outside Counsel: The Much Exaggerated Demise of Estate Planning	Top
Anthony T. Selvaggio, counsel at Nixon Peabody writes that given the significant and generous estate tax changes in the Tax Relief Act of 2010 it is not surprising that some have come to the conclusion that 99 percent of Americans will not require any form of sophisticated estate planning. But such a view is shortsighted and ill-informed.
