Last week, the Caribbean was decimated by Hurricane Irma. The Category 5 storm left at least 36 people dead, thousands displaced and millions without power.“The @brooklynettes are making our debut swimwear line look REAL GOOD. _ #BrooklynInBarbados,” Sports Illustrated captioned a group photo of bikini-clad Instagram models Tuesday.Instagram users lashed back at Sports Illustrated.

Two recent Delaware Court of Chancery decisions demonstrate that narrow statutory standards continue to govern access to corporate books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  In the wake of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Indiana Electrical Workers Pension Trust Fund IBEW, 95 A.3d 1264 (Del. 2014), legitimate questions existed regarding whether the Delaware Supreme Court’s decision might usher in an era of expansive Section 220 discovery.  See Michael C. Hefter, Ryan M. Philp & Kate E. Olivieri, Scope of Section 220 Discovery After ‘Wal-Mart’, N.Y. L.J., July 13, 2015, at S8.  However, cases following the Wal-Mart decision suggested that the far-reaching access granted in that case was a product of exceptional circumstances that allowed the plaintiffs to leverage unusually strong evidence of officer and director wrongdoing.  Id. at S9.  Amalgamated Bank, et al. v. Yahoo! Inc. and George Chammas, et al. … [Read more...] about Two Recent Delaware Decisions Further Illustrate Scope of Section 220 Discovery

One of them, Ayub Khan, has already served 11 years in jail. The Supreme Court has acquitted 17 persons in a murder case of the year 1990.This judgment by the Supreme Court illustrates the oft-quoted proverb: Justice delayed is Justice denied. Ayub Khan is one of the accused in the murder case.Though the trial court acquitted him and the other 16 accused, the high court reversed those findings and sentenced all of them to life imprisonment. During the pendency of his appeal before the apex court, which now acquitted him, he lost his precious 11 years in jail.The Supreme Court, setting aside the high court judgment, observed that the trial court’s judgment was more than just a possible view for arriving at the conclusion of acquittal, and that it would not be safe to convict 17 persons accused of the crime of murder i.e., under Section 302 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code. The case pertains to a fight between two rival political factions in connection with … [Read more...] about SC Acquits 17 Accused In 1990 Murder Case [Read Judgment]

New lawyer Scott Neal is among the lucky law grads who have landed a law firm job.But his position at the firm in Birmingham, Mich., is only part-time. He also works as a building supervisor at the YMCA and as a tree trimmer, the Detroit Free Press reports in a story reprinted by USA Today. The story asks the question: Is part-time work the new normal?“My parents are pressuring me to get a full-time job, even if it’s not in law,” says Neal, who lives with his parents.Nearly 1 million new jobs were created this year, but 80 percent of the positions were part-time, the story says. Involuntary part-time workers who are looking for full-time work or working multiple jobs make up more than 19 percent of the workforce, up from 17 percent in 2007.Derrick George is the lawyer who hired Neal. Six out of 10 of his employees are part-time, allowing him to avoid paying for health care and pensions. “Today’s business environment is different,” George told the … [Read more...] about New lawyer has three part-time jobs, illustrating stat: 80% of new jobs are part-time

· SGR Fix Advances in the House, Action Planned in Senate: On Friday, the House voted 238 to 181 to approve H. Res. 515, legislation that would repeal the SGR and pay for it by delaying the individual mandate requirement of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for five years. In advance of the SGR movement that occurred in both chambers, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a new estimate finding that suspending the individual mandate until 2019 would save $169.5 billion- thus more than paying for an SGR replacement currently estimated at $138 over 11 years. Although the House measure will not likely gain traction in the Senate and the President has promised a veto of the measure, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) placed S. 2110, an SGR repeal that also includes Medicare extenders but is not paid for, on the Senate calendar for consideration late in March. While Senate Republicans have balked at a permanent “doc fix” without pay fors, Congress must pass a patch or a … [Read more...] about Health Care Update – March 17, 2014
