Patrick<br/><br/> "Michael D. Patrick, a partner at Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, reviews the new regulation that will require an estimated 200,000 federal contractors and subcontractors to use the E-Verify system. But for all its impact on employers, the most noteworthy fact about the new rule may be that the new administration assumes office only five days after it is scheduled to take effect." </font></p><!--commentsListSize 0--><!-- November 24, 2008 --> <p><a href="http://alm.rsys1.net/servlet/cc6?HtuYQSRBYDQSVKIHKLjlkxJhmjlkQklHlLQgPQmkVaVSS" target="_blank"><font size="2">International Litigation</font></a><br/><font size="2">Monday, November 24, 2008<br/>By Lawrence W. Newman and David Zaslowsky<br/><br/>"Lawrence W. Newman and David Zaslowsky, partners at Baker & McKenzie, write: The attorney-client privilege is part of the foundation on which is built the edifice of legal practice in this country. But lawyers who practice transnationally operate at their peril if they conduct themselves on the assumption that the laws of all other countries treat the privilege issue as we do in the United States.

"Not in my backyard" restrictions are spreading unchecked through county, town and village ordinance books from Suffolk County to Niagara Falls. Challenges to these laws have mostly focused on constitutional claims, which will eventually be resolved by the highest courts. But in the meantime, a New Jersey court recently held local sex offender residency ordinances in the Garden State are preempted by state law. Could the preemption doctrine lead to a similar ruling in the Empire State?
