| Dealmaker of the Week: At Bat for the Astros | Top |
| A King & Spalding partner represented the Houston Astros when Drayton McLane purchased the baseball team in 1992, and now represents the Astros in its pending sale to a group led by Houston businessman Jim Crane. The Astros did not announce the sale price, but the price has been estimated in news reports at around $680 million. Major League Baseball must approve the sale before it is final. | |
| Commentary: Getting Writs Right — Improve Odds of Success in Petitions for Mandamus | Top |
| The first issue for mandamus relief is whether the judge has committed a clear abuse of discretion, writes Jim Moseley, a justice on the 5th Court of Appeals in Dallas. A judge has no discretion in determining what the law is or in applying the law to undisputed facts, even when the law is unsettled. So an error in doing either constitutes a clear abuse of discretion. However, resolving a contested fact issue cannot constitute an abuse of discretion. | |
