In U.S. ex rel. Zafirov v. Physician Partners, LLC , 2024 WL 2846007 (M.D. Fla. June 2, 2024), the court held that a categorical privilege log was insufficient , even after an apparent agreement to that logging process.

There have been several colossal nine-figure patent verdicts already this year—in a variety of district courts— although we have yet to see one in the ten-figure range.

There are tough, no-nonsense judges. And then there are judges that dislike your arguments so much they order you removed from the courtroom and handcuff you to a chair. The latter type includes Cook County Circuit Court Judge Kathy Flanagan. On May 7, Judge Flanagan and attorney Brad Schneiderman got into an argument at a motion hearing. Schneiderman ended up briefly handcuffed to a chair, and Judge Flanagan now faces misconduct allegations and a state investigation.

Although the flurry of Supreme Court opinions issued last Thursday and Friday did not include the one most anticipated by securities practitioners (i.e., SEC v.
