McDermott vindicated; appellate court reversed the $4 million sanctions against the firm for its advocacy in a trial for Medtronic.     .  .  .  .  .     Bloggers aren't journalists, at least not in New Jersey?  We're seeing a similar issue play out in California, over a product review of a prototype iPhone that was left behind in a bar.     .  .  .  .  .     Mainstream media are catching up to the story covered at the Conglomerate, as to whether there is a law school bubble and, if so, what should be done.     .  .  .  .  .     "How will lawyers use the iPad?"     .  .  .  .  .     This paralegal blog references the new Scottish plan to formally register paralegals.  Last time I looked at the issue in the US, the states had a lot of variation on whether paralegals are formally regulated in statutory law.     .  .  .  .  .     Interesting case at Legal Profession Blog, where an attorney did an independent investigation of a workplace complaint and then the lawyer's firm took an adversary role in the matter.  The trial court and the appellate dissent found some duty running to the complaining employee, but the majority of the appellate court found no such duty and held that disqualification was inappropriate.  Sounds right to me.     .  .  .  .  .     Proposed new regulation of the Australian legal profession is forwarded up the regulatory chain.
