Law Firm Not Vicariously Liable for Malpractice by Contract Partner
" A law firm has no vicarious liability for alleged malpractice for work done by a contract partner under a private arrangement with a client, a state appeals court rules in a suit seeking millions of dollars from Sills Cummis Epstein & Gross on account of alleged negligence by former judge Andrew Napolitano."

Attorney General's Modest Proposal: Making Idle Lawyers State Resources
"It's an economic no-brainer: Legal work costs money, but out-of-work lawyers may do it for free - or at least for the prospect of building their resumes. That's the thinking behind N.J. Attorney General Anne Milgram's plan to help her overburdened Division of Law."

Malpractice Suit Against Duane Morris Can Go Forward
"A New Jersey appeals court continues a trend of trimming back a 2005 state Supreme Court precedent that blocks clients from suing their lawyers over settlements originally found to be acceptable."

Court Upholds Authority of Arbitrator To Decide Arbitrability of Job Dispute
"In a ruling that's good news for employers, the New Jersey Supreme Court says that a carefully worded collective bargaining agreement can give an arbitrator the power to decide whether a dispute with an employee is arbitrable."

Feeder Funds Held Subject to Commodity Pool Regulation
"A fund that solicits money from investors for trading in commodity futures is subject to registration and regulation as a commodity pool operator, even if it does no trading itself, the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held Monday in a precedent-setting ruling."

Town Drops Malpractice Suit Against Lawyer Who Failed To Notify Carrier
"Former Manalapan solicitor Stuart Moskovitz stumbled upon a neat trick for getting a legal malpractice claim dismissed. He failed to put his professional liability carrier on notice when the township filed suit against him, leading officials to drop it for lack of deep pockets from which to recover."
