Lawyers bringing a lawsuit against Irving-based Boy Scouts of America said Tuesday they believe they’ve turned up allegations of sexual abuse against more than 350 people not previously identified in files released by the organization. “It is apparent that the Boy Scouts Defendants continue to hide the true nature of their cover-up and the extent of the pedophilia epidemic within their …
Sometimes lawyers just amaze me with how fast they can put a lawsuit together. As a matter of fact three different sets (so far) of lawyers have already filed suit against Intel since the news came out this week that their processors had significant vulnerabilities and the fix will slow them down. Anyway, this is going to be interesting over the next several months/years as these lawsuits make …
Lawyers for President Donald Trump are asking a federal judge to toss a civil lawsuit accusing the president of violating the Constitution because his businesses accept money from foreign governments.

A Jewish real estate agent’s anti-harassment lawsuit against the owner of the racist Daily Stormer website hasn’t progressed at all, despite being filed nearly four months ago.

Upping the ante on his fight with the venture capital firm, which holds a 13% stake in Uber, Kalanick said that Benchmark waged a secret campaign to remove him …
Lawyer-driven hail litigation is the worst lawsuit abuse in Texas today. The Texas Legislature must stop this lawsuit abuse while protecting the right of every Texas consumer to sue their insurance company if it acts unfairly or in bad faith. For the last five years, storm-chasing lawyers have descended upon neighborhoods from the Rio Grande to the Red River, unleashing case …
Trump’s lawyers contended that Trump was speaking to security and not the crowd, but the federal judge in the case has already ruled that it’s plausible Trump had incited a riot, allowing the lawsuit to move forward. In Friday’s filing, Trump’s lawyers make several claims in response to the lawsuit, including that Trump had a right to remove protesters from his event, that getting tickets to …
Attorneys for an energy company being sued by the federal government say lawyers for the Environmental Protection Agency are defying one of President Trump’s executive orders that, if obeyed, would essentially kill the agency’s lawsuit against the company. The accusation against the EPA, and their Justice Department (DOJ) lawyers, is the latest episode in a five-year-old fight between the …
A Superior Court judge has approved a $2.375-million class-action settlement for the 1,194 victims of the diluted chemotherapy drug scandal, dashing the hopes of some patients who objected that their $1,500 share is a slap in the face. “I’m in pieces about it,” said Louise Martens, a Windsor woman who was one of the most vocal opponents of the proposed settlement. She was one of a dozen people …
