| Will Ensign case trigger new conduct code? | Top |
| The charges against former U.S. Sen. John Ensign include one that has been rare in the Senate's history — violation of rules against sexual harassment. | |
| Farmers case yields big fees | Top |
| This month, a federal judge in Washington quietly approved a $1.25 billion settlement and conditionally agreed to a fee range that could generate a $92.5 million award to be split among all the lawyers. | |
| Feds say D.C. lawyer needs ethics lesson | Top |
| Defense attorney Charles Daum has been indicted on several charges, including witness tampering and perjury. But did he really risk his career on a routine drug prosecution? | |
| A break in the blockade | Top |
| The activists who closely follow judicial nominations have for months pondered a big question: Could the Republicans' increased numbers in the U.S. Senate succeed in blocking some of President Barack Obama's nominees? Last week, they got the beginning of an answer. | |
| INADMISSIBLE | Top |
| A PAC for Colbert; FCPA case is a legal seat-filler; measuring outlook by summer associates; Martin defends Johnson; the business of electing Democrats; Hesse to head AT&T/T-Mobile USA merger review; and Obama may lose Liu in this week's column. | |
| D.C. prosecutors describe 'obviously' illegal deal in FCPA case | Top |
| The government's closely watched foreign bribery sting case that nabbed 22 arms and military equipment industry executives and employees began today here in Washington, where a prosecutor described to jurors an allegedly corrupt deal to sell $15 million worth of supplies to the defense minister of Gabon. | |
| At long last, government case against Microsoft has ended | Top |
| Nearly 10 years after Microsoft Corp. signed an agreement with the government to resolve antitrust charges against it, the company is free of federal oversight. | |
| Federal Circuit refuses to dismiss appeal after TiVo/EchoStar settlement | Top |
| The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has denied TiVo Inc. and EchoStar Corp.'s joint bid to dismiss an appeal after the parties reached a $500 million settlement of a suit initially brought by Tivo in 2004. | |
| Justices rule in whistleblower, police search cases | Top |
| The Supreme Court made a dent in its 46-case backlog with three decisions on Monday, including one that is a major win for government contractors and another that makes it easier for police to conduct searches without warrants. | |
| COURTSIDE: Stevens criticizes 'Connick' ruling | Top |
| It is rare but not unheard of for retired justices to comment critically about the Court's work, especially about a specific recent decision. But it seems in keeping with how the 91-year-old Stevens plans to spend his retirement, speaking out on issues of the day and, as he recently revealed, writing a book. | |
| In sovereign immunity case, states win again | Top |
| The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that states may not be sued for money damages under a federal law protecting the religious freedom of prisoners. | |
| Getting SLAPPed | Top |
| In November, Washington became the latest jurisdiction to adopt an anti-SLAPP law; the statute went into effect on March 31. | |
| D.C. divorce lawyer, Nobel laureate feud | Top |
| Washington divorce attorney Rita Bank has been litigating unhappy break-ups for more than a quarter-century. But next month, the family law heavyweight will find herself in court over an unamicable split with a renowned former client. | |
| Clash over Court renovation | Top |
| A confrontation between the construction company doing the work and the government agency that oversees the project is largely over claims that the Court's insistence on quiet and decorum during the project caused millions of dollars in extra labor costs and delay. | |
