Today's ruling is a reminder of the strength of our nation's legal system and the protections it grants to religious minorities," said [Muneer Awad] on Monday after [Vicki Miles-LaGrange]'s verdict. "We are humbled by this opportunity to show our fellow OkIahomans that Muslims are their neighbors and that we are committed to upholding the U.S. Constitution and promoting the benefits of a pluralistic society. When asked if he felt that judges deciding cases on Sharia law was a real danger, [Rex Duncan] said, "It's not just a danger, it's a reality." While he said that an actual case hasn't happened yet, Duncan believes that the bill would be a preemptive strike to "liberal judges" who might try and undermine "those founding principles" by considering international or Sharia law.

Lawyers at Shapiro & Burson LLP repeatedly lied by signing each other's names to foreclosure affidavits, but their actions did not alter the rights of the lender or the homeowners, a Baltimore County has ruled. Circuit Court Susan Souder wrote in her Aug. 11 opinion that she did not believe monetary sanctions were appropriate, and that she would leave any punishment levied against the plaintiffs -- all lawyers -- to bar counsel at the Attorney Grievance Commission.
A Nassau County has thrown out a motion to dismiss a suit against Simon Property Group and U.S. Bank, charging their Visa gift card customers have far-reaching rights to unused balances on expired cards, although the companies argue they're entitled to charge fees even if they wipe out a card's entire value.

In the past few years, each time someone appealed one of Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy's criminal rulings, the result was the same. His rulings -- on cases ranging from kidnapping to drunken driving -- always were upheld. In Erie County, State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia's run of error-free trials contributed to his strong record. State Supreme Court Judge John L. Michalski of Erie County, meanwhile, was racking up reversals. So was Chautauqua County Judge John T. Ward.
