The Legal Intelligencer Morning Update

A Message From the Editor

The state Supreme Court is agreeing more with the Superior Court - a lot more. In our first story, Aleeza Furman reports that the percentage of agreement between the intermediate and high courts has doubled in recent years. What could be behind the trend? The state's top appellate attorneys wade in. Also, we have a look inside what the burgeoning equity tier means for the leverage law firms have in the market.

Thanks for reading!
