<p><font size="2">"In a contentious Long Island divorce proceeding, a judge has appointed a receiver to collect the rent from the husband's real estate holdings to ensure his payment of his wife's on-going legal expenses. Supreme Court Justice Robert A. Ross of Nassau County cited the need for a level playing field, as well as the husband's consistent "recalcitrance," as grounds for the "drastic remedy" of appointing a receiver."</font></p>

<p><font size="2">"Lisa A. Cahill, of counsel at Hughes Hubbard & Reed, discusses cases that establish that a lack of clarity about the "client" in the attorney-client relationship is perilous in this day and age. At the risk of discouraging cooperation, she warns, lawyers should take pains to be clear and direct about whom they represent."</font></p>

<p><font size="2">"John C. Coffee Jr., the Adolf A. Berle Professor of Law at Columbia University Law School and director of its Center on Corporate Governance, writes: 'At least as much as investment advisers, the plaintiffs' bar is today deeply entangled in the business of soliciting pension funds. This is a necessary consequence of the PSLRA, which has left securities litigation highly profitable in the current environment but made public pension funds the principal distributor of this largess. The scandals have been smaller, but pressure is brewing for reform here too.' "</font></p></font>
