Albany A Manhattan appellate court has ruled that a lawyer who was unfamiliar with the law of a particular case and who performed mostly nonlegal work on it is nonetheless entitled to share in an almost $3 million attorney fee. In 1995, lawyer Peretz Amir brought an employment discrimination matter to the firm then known as Easton & Echtman. After the matter settled in 1998 for $2.88 million, Amir claimed he was entitled to a one-third share as a "member" of the firm. But the firm, headed by Irwin Echtman, refused on the grounds that Amir had not worked on the case. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Louis B. York backed the firm in a November 2005 decision, ruling that indicia like Amir's inclusion in a Martindale-Hubble Law Directory listing and on firm letterhead did not make Amir a lawyer at Easton & Echtman. York also found that Amir's understanding of the law and work on the case did not qualify him for a share of the fee. As the news sunk in over the weekend that once again raises -- which, just weeks ago, looked like a done deal -- were not to be, New York's state judges lashed out at every available target. In dozens, if not hundreds, of e-mails to each other, judges directed their anger at Gov. Eliot Spitzer, leaders in the Legislature and even their own leaders, Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye and Chief Administrative Judge Jonathan Lippman. With Supreme Court judge's pay, for example, stalled at $137,600 since 1999 and first-year associates at some major firms earning $190,000, anger was palpable in the e-mail chatter. Judges reported talk about strikes, slow downs, a mass protest in the state capital and recusals from cases handled by legislators' firms and even firms that donated to legislators' campaigns. One judge posted a sign in his courtroom calling attention to the fact that more than eight years have passed without a raise for judges. Another told the New York Law Journal that she was going to look for another job. Court of Appeals judges should not be exempted from having their physical and mental fitness certified if they want to remain on the Court past age 70, the New York State Bar Association's House of Delegates determined Saturday. The delegates amended a proposal made by a committee chaired by E. Leo Milonas, former chief state administrative judge, which had recommended that the age limit for judges on the Court of Appeals -- New York state's high court -- be extended to 76 from 70 and without recertification. (State Supreme Court justices may serve until age 76 with recertification every two years after turning 70.)

Complete lawyers in orange county. The New York County attorneys' Association turned 99 years old this year. At the time of its founding, the only existing bar association in Manhattan precluded some attorneys from membership by virtue of ethnicity, religion, sex and race. Although other factors contributed to the atmosphere that produced the new association, none was as strong as "selective membership." Not only were large groups of attorneys denied affiliation with a bar association, but independent perspectives on the judicial system were also curtailed by the reluctance of a few large law firms to facilitate change. Throughout its history, NYCLA's bedrock principles have been the inclusion of all who wish to join and the active pursuit of legal system reform. The New York County attorneys' Association has historically been one of the largest and most influential county bar associations in the country. From its 143 founders to the 8,500 who now proudly call themselves Members, the Association has stood for, as observed by one of its founders, Benno Lewison: "the cultivation of the science of jurisprudence; the promotion of reforms in the law; the facilitation of the administration of justice; the elevation of the standards of integrity, honor and courtesy in the legal profession; [and] the cherishing of the spirit of brotherhood among the members of the Association." NYCLA's stature in the legal community has attracted prominent men and women to its programs. Annual Meetings, dinners and forum events have been attended by U.S. presidents, chief justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, legal scholars from across the country, corporate leaders and elected officials from all levels of government. From the beginning, NYCLA has pioneered some of the most far-reaching and tangible reforms in American jurisprudence. As early as 1915, NYCLA proposed legislation to "radically revise all the laws pertaining to this [Municipal] Court." In 1948, the Association sponsored initiatives to reduce calendar congestion at all court levels. In 1962, NYCLA spearheaded the effort to enact a unified civil and criminal court system in New York City. NYCLA has consistently supported just compensation for judges and employees of the courts, as well as the merit selection of judges. In 1997, NYCLA's proposal to increase fees for Article 18(b) attorneys to improve the quality of defense afforded to indigent defendants won the endorsement of bar associations across the state. A lawsuit filed in 2000 helped obtain increased compensation for these attorneys.

New York Legal NewsA Bankruptcy law is the name given to the branch of civil law that covers federal bankruptcy and state insolvency laws and regulations as they apply to individuals, municipalities, and businesses. During bankruptcy, a court administers the estate (the property and other assets) of a debtor (a person or business who owes money to others) for the benefit of creditors (a person or business that is owed money). In voluntary bankruptcy proceedings, individuals or businesses may file for bankruptcy in an attempt to resolve a hopeless financial situation; although, from time to time, a creditor may force the filing of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding.

A personal injury can happen at work, in a traffic accident, because of a faulty product or a faulty repair, because of a mistake during medical treatment, or because you slipped and fell on a wet floor or pavement. The personal injury can be physical or psychological but, to be considered actionable, it must occur due to the negligence or unreasonably unsafe actions of your employer, a manufacturer, your doctor, your landlord, or some other person or organization who owes you a duty of ordinary care. Examples of personal injury law causes of action include professional malpractice, wrongful birth, wrongful death, liable, slander, trespass, and nuisance. If you think you may have a case for a personal injury settlement, please contact a personal injury lawyer or personal injury attorney.
