This week in Maryland Lawyer
May 27, 2008
Uncertain economy? You wouldn’t know it by looking at what law firms are paying newly minted lawyers.
At least the new J.D.s are generous: See who’s bringing back the class gift and who’s matching that money.
Also:
- A judge in Baltimore County has awarded Wells Fargo Bank about $750,000 in attorneys’ fees in a dispute over a troubled shopping center;
- Public defender Paul B. DeWolfe takes the reins of Montgomery County’s bar association;
- A pro se plaintiff who took his med-mal case all the way to trial gets a settlement while the jury deliberates;
- Judges Murphy and Krauser look at the biblical roots of jurisprudence;
- Shannon Avery talks about her first Court of Appeals argument, where Chief Judge Bell stumped her with a question about buffalo farming and opposing counsel Mary Ellen Barbera taught her the value of civility;
- The Editorial Advisory Board weighs in on the role of lawyers in maintaining judicial independence, Jack L.B. Gohn discusses the ways in which lawyers compromise and are compromised, and “Judge on the Jury” Dennis M. Sweeney offers suggestions for holding the jurors’ attention.
Plus:
- On the Move
- Briefs and Week in Review
- Summaries of recent decisions by the Court of Appeals, Court of Special Appeals, 4th Circuit and Maryland’s U.S. District Court.
