Updates on Earlier Posts

• We wrote last week (In Tobacco Conspiracy, Lawyers Were Key) that U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler's 1,653-page opinion finding that top cigarette makers violated federal racketeering laws included an indictment of the complicity of lawyers in helping to deceive the public. Today, Legal Times has more: D.C. Federal Judge Slams Lawyers for Role in Hiding Tobacco Risks.

• In her July 25 post, New Jersey: The Kryptonite of SuperLawyers, Carolyn Elefant told you about the New Jersey ethics panel ruling prohibiting lawyers from advertising in SuperLawyer and Best Lawyer publications. Now Howard Bashman brings news that the state's Supreme Court ordered a stay of the ruling pending its review.

• On July 13, we reported on The Copyright Code, in Verse, an ode to American IP law from Israeli Internet professional Yehuda Berlinger. So what could Berlinger do for an encore? Why, the U.S. patent code in verse, of course. (Hat tip to Dennis Kennedy.)

• And then there was the Sad Case of a Troubled Judge, our June 30 post about the former Oklahoma judge on trial for using a "male-enhancement pump" in his courtroom. Now, TalkLeft reports that the former judge was sentenced last week to four years in prison.
