| Split Court finds fund administrator not liable for fund's statements | Top |
| A divided U.S. Supreme Court on Monday held that a mutual fund investment adviser could not be liable for allegedly false statements in client prospectuses if it did not have ultimate control over the statements. | |
| High court upholds Nevada recusal law invoked against legislator | Top |
| The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that recusal laws — including laws requiring judges to bow out in cases in which they have a conflict of interest — don't violate the First Amendment rights of government officials. | |
| Court hands Microsoft loss in patent fight | Top |
| Microsoft, with a $290 million jury verdict against it at stake, on Thursday lost a hard-fought patent battle in the U.S. Supreme Court. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, writing for a unanimous Court, held that alleged infringers — here Microsoft — who raise as a defense that the patent at issue is invalid must prove it by clear and convincing evidence. | |
| Investors win again at the high court — but don't call it a trend | Top |
| Removing a significant hurdle for plaintiffs in securities class actions, the Supreme Court ruled Monday that investors need not prove at the class certification stage that a company's deceptive conduct caused their economic losses. | |
| High court practitioners: increasingly diverse | Top |
| Last month's announcement that former acting solicitor general Walter Dellinger was turning over the reins of O'Melveny & Myers' prestigious appellate practice to Sri Srinivasan, born in India and raised in Kansas, is just the latest sign that diversity is blossoming where before there was almost none. | |
