'Do-gooders' thrive	Top
More freshly minted lawyers are opting for public interest careers, indicating a shift in the way those careers are perceived and how young lawyers prepare for public interest jobs.
Can $99M in fees cause the blues?	Top
Cobell's lawyers last week pushed for the nearly quarter-billion dollar legal fee — even comparing the attorneys' plight to that of the victims at the heart of the case. The judge didn't buy the pitch.
For business, a big week at Court	Top
Justices curtail employment class actions, as well as climate-change and generic-drug suits.
Another BAR/BRI settlement strikes out	Top
A federal judge sides with objectors, who called planned coupons 'valueless' and 'particularly laughable.'
CHAMPIONS & VISIONARIES	Top
In this fourth annual special section, we honor Washington lawyers in two categories: Champions, those who have upheld the profession's core values through public service, pro bono efforts and advocacy for civil liberties, and Visionaries, attorneys whose business or legal acumen has expanded their firms, improved government or advanced the law.
THE PRACTICE: The NLRB's new regulation of social media	Top
Companies should know that online activities can trigger rights under federal labor law for even nonunion employees.
OPINION: Time to comply with the Vienna Convention	Top
The U.S. is obliged to afford a judicial remedy to foreign nationals like Humberto Leal, scheduled to be executed July 7.
OPINION: Politics of fear tactics	Top
A pending House bill would permit indefinite detention of noncitizens: a domestic Guantánamo. Anecdotes of tragic crimes never lead to rational policies.
