Prosecutors Are Getting In-House Lawyers' Attention	Top

'The Onion' Likely in the Clear Over Congress Hostage Tweet, Say Media Lawyers	Top
The Onion caused confusion Thursday when its Twitter messages described gunfire in the U.S. Capitol building, but media lawyers said the satirical newspaper probably won't face legal fallout. The tweets actually related to an Onion story about Congress holding schoolchildren hostage.
Attorney Sanctioned for Wasting Time During Depositions	Top

Cop's Sniffing of Party Guest's Breath Was Custodial Questioning, Court Says	Top
