Deflated defiance: Cleveland firm's challenge of federal prosecution for soliciting air crash clients never gets off ground
Article Abstract:
The Cleveland law firm of Nuremberg, Plevin, Heller and McCarthy and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) settled their suits regarding unsolicited communication of air crash victims or their families under 49 U.S.C. 1136(g)(2). Several states have similar rules prohibiting certain written solicitations sent within specified time periods after a plane crash. The ABA's Young Lawyers Division works with the NTSB and state bars to determine if disciplinary action should be taken when lawyers violate unsolicited communication rules.

The zealots and the senator
Article Abstract:
The case against Virginia State Sen Richard J Holland and his Farmers Bank began over loan-fraud, with the FDIC first charging the bank administratively for violating laws governing a series of nominee loans to one borrower, and, when the Hollands defeated the allegations, increasing the offenses to criminal perjury charges. The charges eventually backfired against the government and it was charged with vexatious prosecution.
