| Lubbock County to Try Novel Indigent-Defense Approach | Top |
| Lubbock County will be the first in Texas to try, at a countywide level, a novel method of appointing attorneys to represent indigent criminal defendants, thanks to a $320,000 grant from the Texas Task Force on Indigent Defense. The managed assigned-counsel program "takes a lot of administrative burden off the judges," says Wesley Shackelford. | |

| High Court Rules Against Microsoft in High-Stakes Patent Case | Top |
| Microsoft Corp., with a $290 million jury verdict against it at stake, has 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. | |
