HP Faces Uphill Battle to Stop Hurd From Taking Oracle Job
Hewlett-Packard's legal team will have a hard time persuading a judge to stop former CEO Mark Hurd from becoming president of Oracle Corp., employment law experts say. HP sued Hurd on Tuesday, claiming that he violated a confidentiality provision of his severance agreement by accepting the post at Oracle. Without explicitly saying so, HP's complaint relies on the doctrine of inevitable disclosure, a concept that has been shot down by some California judges. Read

Study: Location, Firm Size Key to Billing Rates
A study of more than $4 billion worth of law firm time sheets submitted by 90,000 people at 3,500 firms portrays an industry fraught with inconsistency. About 85 percent of the lawyers charge clients different rates for the same work. The location of the biller and the size of the biller's firm -- not the biller's experience -- are the variables that most influence how much a client will pay. And while in-house counsel talk tough about keeping rates in check, they OK almost three-fourths of all timekeepers' rate hikes. Read

3rd Circuit: Probable Cause May Be Needed for Cell Phone Location Data
In the first appellate ruling on a cutting-edge privacy issue, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has declared that cell phone location data may trigger Fourth Amendment concerns and that prosecutors demanding access to such records may be required at times to satisfy a probable cause standard. The ruling is a setback for the Justice Department, but it also reverses a decision by a Pennsylvania federal court, which had ruled that prosecutors must always show probable cause to access such cell phone data.

Slowdown in Filings Fuels Competition for Bankruptcy Cases
Something new is hitting the bankruptcy bar: a slowdown. Just two years after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings, the number of businesses filing for Chapter 11 is dropping off. Meanwhile, competition is heating up among firms eager to handle newly filed cases as recent years' large bankruptcy matters wrap up. Business bankruptcy filings nationwide fell 4 percent in the first six months of the year; Chapter 11 business filings fell 17 percent; and Chapter 7 liquidations remained nearly flat. Read

Judge Finds No Ineffective Assistance in Trial Where Defense Lawyer's 'Associate' Was Non-Attorney Felon
It was not until after Kenneth Stevens had been sentenced to 216 months in prison for bank robbery that he learned the "associate" who sat second chair at his trial was not an attorney, but his lawyer's business partner and a convicted felon. Last week, a federal judge ruled that the ostensible associate's criminal background and lack of a law degree were insufficient grounds for finding ineffective assistance and rejected Stevens' motion to vacate his conviction.

Senate Prepares for Trial of Federal Judge
A special U.S. Senate committee is scheduled to begin the impeachment trial of G. Thomas Porteous Jr. next week. The rarely held proceeding will determine the future of the New Orleans federal district judge, who is accused of decades of corruption, including an alleged kickback scheme with a law firm. The case will present some unusual questions for the senators who serve as judges and jurors, including whether a judge can be removed for conduct that occurred before he took the bench. Read

Referee Backs Reduction of Fee Sought by Graubard From Widow's Estate
A $44 million contingency fee sought by Graubard Miller for its work on behalf of the widow of a New York real estate magnate should be cut to less than $16 million, according to a court referee's report. If confirmed, Graubard Miller's award, with interest, could climb to about $25 million. But the sum is less than what the firm would have earned under the original 40 percent contingency arrangement Graubard had with its longtime client, Alice Lawrence, whose estate claimed the fee was unconscionable.
