Chairman Eugene Stearns is again recognized as the only “Star” Individual in the state for Commercial Litigation and the Firm’s litigation department as Band 1. “It is an honor to have achieved this recognition again,” Stearns said, “but no lawyer can be successful in complex litigation these days without a strong team of lawyers and staff, a substantial and long-term investment in trial technology and training and a willingness to go to trial fully prepared and without fear. Because they are my partners, I don’t have to worry about trying a case against Jay Shapiro, Alan Fein, Tom Aubin, Grace Mead, Jason Hernandez, Glenn Burhans, Josh Munn, Maria Fehretdinov, Jenea Reed, Darrell Payne, Andrew Stearns or Jason Koslowe, just to name some of the experienced trial attorneys in the Firm. The collegial environment we enjoy also allows us the luxury of access to leading lawyers in real estate, land use and environmental regulation, banking, corporate and finance, tax, bankruptcy and labor. Proficiency is next door.” Chambers USA is a branch of Chambers & Partners, a highly regarded global publisher of directories that ranks the world’s top lawyers and law firms. Rankings are based on extensive research and client interviews conducted by Chambers’ team of researchers.

  • In Chambers: Effective Writing Tips for the Judicial Interns and Law Clerks
    IN CHAMBERS: EFFECTIVE WRITING TIPS FOR THE JUDICIAL INTERNS AND LAW CLERKS © 2017 The Writing Center at GULC. All Rights Reserved.1 Working for and with a judge can be an exciting but intimidating challenge. In many respects, law school is great preparation, and many of the skills you have learned will be invaluable. However, many challenges you will face in chambers can seem quite foreign at first, and there is surprisingly little guidance out there on how to address them. This handout is intended to fill some of those gaps. A lot of the guidance contained in this handout will, like so many things in law, vary depending on facts and circumstances. For example, this handout is intended to be useful both for full-time clerks as well as summer interns and school-term externs. Of course, the roles of each of these positions differs in some respect, so keep that in mind as you read. In addition, as is elaborated further later on, every judge is different. No matter what, respect his or her wishes at all times and never take anything contained herein or elsewhere as advice to the contrary. This handout assumes you have received an assignment from your supervisor in chambers and that you are having a hard time with next steps. The goal is not so much to tell you how to write it (there is simply too much variation out there for that), but, instead, to provide some guidance as to what types of questions you can ask and what next steps might look like.

First-rate training and market-leading work alongside some of the City’s finest lawyers. Prestigious clients. The opportunity to progress. And all in a supportive, non-hierarchical and inclusive environment. www.traverssmith.com 10 Snow Hill, London EC1A 2AL +44 (0) 20 7295 3000 Introduction chambersstudent.co.uk Chambers Student Guide 2021 Editors’ foreword The world has changed forever – we’re all a bit bored of hearing chilling truths like this. It may be factual, but after students have endured such a rough spell, we could do with something more comforting and familiar. Happily, we’ve seen the average NQ salary continue its steady increase in the face of 2020’s drama, and the indications are that trainee retention is not a disaster. Although it’s early days, the mood is of opportunity, not panic. And, to be blunt, some shift in the dynamics in this profession was long overdue. The UK-US firm model of being office-bound at antisocial hours had become outdated, incompatible with modern family life and taking its toll on diversity and mental health. We learnt in our research this year that if firms fail to look after their trainees’ mental health, they will soon leave in high numbers. In every True Picture this year, we ask trainees to examine their firms’ handling of stress and wellbeing. For so many, this new remote-lawyer life is not unwelcome.

  • Practice Makes Precedent†
    PRACTICE MAKES PRECEDENT† Michael J. Gerhardt∗ INTRODUCTION Professor Josh Chafetz’s superb Essay, Unprecedented? Judicial Confirmation Battles and the Search for a Usable Past,1 calls to mind the historian Carl Becker’s trenchant observation, “history is what the present chooses to remember about the past.”2 In law and in life, the present is a relentless quest to define the past. In his Essay, Chafetz criticizes “charges of unprecedentedness” in Senate contests over judicial appointments that merely serve the “polit- ical judgment” of those casting them.3 Chafetz examines the recent his- tory of such contests to “highlight the ways in which any claim of (un)precedentedness involves particular, contestable constructions of the past.”4 He illustrates the point by assessing two plausible narratives regarding the Senate’s confirmation of Justice Gorsuch and its rejection of President Obama’s nomination of Judge Garland to the seat vacated as a result of Justice Scalia’s death. Chafetz suggests that, when ana- lyzing these and other narratives involving judicial appointments, peo- ple should seek “to construct a narrative of the past”5 that “fits the data.”6 He concludes that whenever we are “confronted with a claim in constitutional politics that some actor is engaged in unprecedented be- havior,” we should ask first, “[u]nder what framing of the past” has that assertion been made, and second, “[d]o we find that framing of the past to be helpful?”7 In this Response, I hope to refine the conception of the past — and its connection to the present — that is central to Chafetz’s thesis by ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– † Responding to Josh Chafetz, The Supreme Court, 2016 Term — Essay: Unprecedented?

  • An Overview of Maritime Law Stephen M
    The following document is offered to PBI faculty as a sample of good written materials. We are proud of the reputation of our “yellow books.” They are often the starting point in tackling a novel issue. From Boating Law and Liability PBI Course #7091 Published April 2012 An Overview of Maritime Law Stephen M. Calder, Esquire Copyright 2012 PBI and the author. All rights reserved. Preamble This overview is intended to be a general introduction to some of the issues that arise in cases governed by admiralty practice and maritime law, particularly in the federal courts. As is true in other practice areas, maritime law evolved over a considerable period of time, and continues to do so. Procedures for the handling of claims have been modified and refined in order to adapt to the changes that have occurred in our courts, as well as the relatively recent phenomenon of recreational boating on a large scale. Nevertheless, many fundamental principles have remained intact, such that maritime law is an unusual mix of ancient traditions and modern approaches to the resolution of disputes. The Source of Admiralty Law and Jurisdiction The family tree for the law governing boats and boating can be traced back to the Code of Hammurabi, the Egyptian and Phoenician merchant fleets, the Rhodian law that governed commerce in the Mediterranean, and later the Rolls of Oleron that recorded rules and customs applicable to the wine trade. It is said that Eleanor of Aquitaine and her son, Richard I, were responsible for the incorporation of the Rolls of Oleron into the laws of England, which eventually found their way into the maritime law of the United States.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Chambers USA Names Peckar & Abramson to Band 1 Level in Construction Law and Government Contracts; 23 P&A Lawyers Recognized as Leading Attorneys; Six Regions Recognized New York, NY – May 20, 2021 - Peckar & Abramson, P.C. (P&A) is pleased to announce that the firm has been recognized by Chambers USA in the areas of Construction Law and Government Contracts: Highly Regarded at the Band 1 level Nationwide, the highest level. P&A stands alone in its distinction of being named a Band 1 firm in Construction Law nationally each year since Chambers has awarded this recognition. Each of P&A’s offices in New York, New Jersey, Washington, DC, Texas, and Florida were ranked Band 1 in Construction Law, and the Firm’s California practice was also highly rated. Additionally, 23 of P&A’s construction lawyers were named as leading construction lawyers in their respective jurisdictions – more than any other construction law practice in the country. This reflects an addition of four newly ranked P&A attorneys from the prior year. Peckar & Abramson has continuously achieved national recognition for its successes in represent-ing members of the construction industry, both domestically and internationally, as demonstrated by its consistent Chambers USA rankings. Among the client comments to Chambers USA about the firm, one stated “We consider Peckar & Abramson the premier firm in the country; it offers outstanding all-round service.” Another source stated, “They have an unbelievably deep bench: it is the go-to firm for contractors on the East Coast and nationwide,” and another said, “The team’s particular strengths are its vast experience regard-ing construction law, as well as its extended coverage throughout the USA.” “These rankings represent P&A’s position as a leading construction firm with a notable depth of commitment and talent,” said P&A Chairman, Steven M.

  • Shakespeare's Will…
    Brief Chronicles Vol. I (2009) 169 Shakespeare’s Will….. Considered Too Curiously Bonner Miller Cutting he last will and testament of William Shakespeare went unnoticed for approximately a century after his death in Stratford-on-Avon on April 23, 1616. !e engraver and antiquarian George Vertue is credited with noting the T 1, 2, 3 existence of a copy in 1737. !e will that is considered to be the original may (or may not) be the one discovered by the Reverend Joseph Greene ten years later in 1747.4, 5, 6 Subsequently, several copies of the Will were published,7 though the Prerogative Court of Canterbury steadfastly refused to allow an actual facsimile to be made. 8 Finally in 1851, the eminent 19th century scholar James Halliwell obtained permission from the Court to release Shakespeare’s Will to the “patient world” in a form as close to the original as possible. In a limited edition of 100 copies, the original character of the will was displayed with the interlineations and alterations set forth as best as could be done in type.9 On viewing the content of the will in its entirety, the Prerogative Court’s reluctance to make the will available in its original form can be easily understood. !e purpose of this paper is to put the will of William Shackspere of Stratford-on-Avon in its social, historical, and legal perspective. !is will be accomplished by a comparison with contemporaneous wills of the day, and by an examination of the circumstances surrounding the creation of the document itself.
