The Legal Intelligencer Morning Update

A Message From the Editor

A state Disciplinary Board filing from late Friday sheds light on a controversy that last year led a lawyer to abruptly leave the high-profile personal injury firm he founded. That lawyer is now set for a three-year suspension. Read more in our first item this morning. Also, the state Superior Court has decided that a law firm handling a cluster of construction cases can remain on the consolidated litigation, despite claims that the firm improperly handled documents.

Thanks for reading!
