“Several States Forbid Abortion After 20 Weeks”: Monday’s edition of The New York Times will contain an article that begins, “Dozens of new restrictions passed by states this year have chipped away at the right to abortion by requiring women to view ultrasounds, imposing waiting periods or cutting funds for clinics.

“Former partner sues Lieff Cabraser over fees”: Reuters has a report that begins, “A former partner has launched a lawsuit against prominent plaintiffs’ law firm Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein, alleging that he should not be on the hook for potential fee losses. Barry Himmelstein claimed that because he was pushed out of Lieff Cabraser he has no responsibility for paying any part of $8.5 million the firm could owe to diamond cartel DeBeers.”
