In a landmark decision at the intersection of state, federal and international law, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that neither the World Court nor President George W. Bush can mess with Texas when it comes to that state's enforcement of its own criminal laws. The justices ruled that neither the international court nor a directive by the president, both aimed at enforcing a consular rights treaty signed by the United States, amounted to "enforceable federal law" that could be imposed on Texas.
Robert Graham, former associate GC at General Re Corp., could spend the rest of his life in jail. On Feb. 25 a federal jury convicted Graham and four other defendants for aiding a sham deal at American International Group. Graham's conviction is further proof that in-house lawyers can't do something that they suspect may be wrong just to please company executives, says one former federal prosecutor, who notes that being an in-house counsel is not a "9-to-5, rubber-stamp, do-what-I'm-told kind of job." 
While courts are becoming more familiar with the legal and technical issues arising from electronic discovery, there is still no shortage of perplexing "e-issues" confronting judges. In Toussie v. County of Suffolk in the Eastern District of New York, a defendant dodged substantive sanctions for losing and/or destroying e-mails requested in discovery because the parties requesting the e-mails failed to marshal satisfactory evidence that the missing e-mails would have been supportive of their case.
