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. Morgan Chu, a partner at Los Angeles-based Irell & Manella, is Tivo's lead trial counsel.
Discipline	Top
A Nueces County lawyer has been suspended, and a Harris County lawyer has received a public reprimand, the State Bar of Texas reported recently.

Excellent performance is not enough; you need to distinguish yourself in the office to earn promotions and recognition or, in some cases, avoid a layoff.
Getting Writs Right: Improve Odds of Success in Petitions for Mandamus	Top
