A New York state appeals court refused Tuesday to reopen a lawsuit claiming
several New York City pension plans unlawfully put politics over municipal
employees' financial needs by divesting $3.9 billion from fossil fuels,
backing a trial court's determination that the workers hadn't shown their
benefits were affected.

An AIG unit can't rely on its policy's pollution exclusion to bar coverage
for a Texas water utility accused of providing contaminated water to
residents, the utility's other insurer told a federal court, saying the
court has already rejected the application of the exclusion in a related
case.

Untangling a "ridiculous" arbitration proceeding that produced four
contradictory awards in a legal malpractice dispute, the Fifth Circuit on
Tuesday affirmed three awards and most of another, adding that the parties
are "free to arbitrate another day" in the hope that their disagreements
will be resolved "for the sake of sanity."

rubber-stamp the request following allegations of a corrupt bargain and
mass resignations of prosecutors in protest.

Confusing Injury-In-Fact Rules Hinder Federal Practice

A recent Third Circuit decision, contradicting a previous ruling about
whether consumers of contaminated products have suffered an injury in fact,
illustrates the deep confusion this U.S. Supreme Court standard creates
among federal judges and practitioners, who deserve a simpler method of
determining which cases have federal standing, says Eric Dwoskin at Dwoskin

No response from IAB on this Water matter today could lead to xNY.io -

   enlightenment..."

The Manhattan federal judge overseeing the corruption case against New
York City Mayor Eric Adams is unlikely to rubber stamp a request from the
U.S. Department of Justice to toss the case and may instead hold a hearing
on the matter, which could get "messy" and "embarrassing," experts say.
