Newman and Steven J. Ahmuty Jr.<br/><br/>"Thomas R. Newman, of counsel to Duane Morris, and Steven J. Ahmuty Jr., a partner at Shaub, Ahmuty, Citrin & Spratt, analyze a recent Court of Appeals ruling which held that collateral estoppel does not bar relitigation of the unreviewed alternative ground because a trial-level decision from a prior action does not have preclusive effect with respect to any issue that is raised on an appeal from the decision but not addressed in the appellate court's order of affirmance."</font></p> <p><font color="#000000" size="2">Outside Counsel</font></p> <p><font size="2"> <a href="http://alm.rsys1.net/servlet/cc6?HtuYQSRWBAQSVKIHKLjlkxJhmjlkQklHlLQgPQmkVaVSC" target="_blank">Loss Causation at Class Certification: Illusory Circuit Split</a><br/>Wednesday, November 5, 2008<br/>By Jamie A. Levitt and Michael Gerard<br/><br/>"Jamie A. Levitt, a partner at Morrison & Foerster, and Michael Gerard, an associate with the firm, write that while many litigants will focus on the ostensible "split" between the Second and Fifth circuits with respect to plaintiff's burden of establishing loss causation as part of its motion for class certification, the Second Circuit's pronouncement in <em>Salomon </em>that defendants may rebut loss causation at the class certification stage will likely make the practical effect of this split illusory."</font></p> <p><font size="2">REAL ESTATE TRENDS:</font></p> <p><a href="http://alm.rsys1.net/servlet/cc6?HtuYQSRWBAQSVKIHKLjlkxJhmjlkQklHlLQgPQmkVaVTW" target="_blank"><font size="2">Loft Law</font></a><br/><font size="2">Wednesday, November 5, 2008<br/>By Warren A. Estis and Jeffrey Turkel<br/><br/>"Warren A. Estis, a founding partner at Rosenberg & Estis, and Jeffrey Turkel, a partner at the firm, write that the Appellate Division, Second Department recently sharply diverged from the Appellate Division, First Department, as to when a commercial loft that is residentially occupied can become subject to rent stabilization, and whether tenants living in such lofts, prior to legalization, must pay rent. A unanimous Second Department panel found that a landlord that allowed tenants to reside in a commercial property may eject them for violating their lease and failing to pay rent, but that it may not recover unpaid back rent."</font></p> <p><font size="2">TECHNOLOGY TODAY:</font></p> <p><a href="http://alm.rsys1.net/servlet/cc6?HtuYQSRWBAQSVKIHKLjlkxJhmjlkQklHlLQgPQmkVaVTA" target="_blank"><font size="2"><font color="red">Free With Registration:</font> Criminal Law: Internet Behavior and Expert Evidence</font></a><br/><font size="2">Tuesday, November 4, 2008<br/>By Ken Strutin<br/><br/>" Ken Strutin, director of legal information services at the New York State Defenders Association, writes that expert knowledge in psychology, sociology and computer forensics can provide a missing link in understanding exotic Information Age behavior.
