&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot;&gt;Fulbright &amp;amp; Jaworski&amp;nbsp;has just released the results of its fourth-annual Litigation Trends Survey.&amp;nbsp; Aspiring litigators would do well to have a look at the findings.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; I&lt;/span&gt;n the words of Stephen Dillard, Fulbright&amp;#8217;s litigation chair, it provides &quot;a detailed situation map of the U.S. and international litigation scene.&quot;&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#8217;s safe to say that this expansive view of the landscape is not available from the typical BigLaw midlevel&amp;#8217;s office, especially in the wee hours of the morning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot;&gt;The survey&amp;#8217;s data show a &quot;pronounced drop in the new case filings&amp;#8212;both against and by American companies.&quot;&amp;nbsp; This is reversal of the upward trajectory of the previous three years.&amp;nbsp; Even so, on the vanishingly small off-chance that a normal, non-lawyer type person reads the findings, it might seem we live in a &amp;nbsp;Jarndyce and Jarndyce&amp;nbsp;world.&amp;nbsp; Just to cite one example: nearly one fifth of the companies surveyed are juggling over 100 lawsuits in U.S. courts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot;&gt;Among other survey highlights:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot;&gt;Consistent with previous years, in-house counsel report that labor &amp;amp; employment matters are the most frequent source of lawsuits.&amp;nbsp; Right, Isiah?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot;&gt;The ever-increasing impact of, and issues relating to, e-discovery and ESI.&amp;nbsp; True, Larry?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot;&gt;The current intense media and regulatory pressure over stock options backdating.&amp;nbsp; Larry again!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0pt&quot; align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;- posted by brian&lt;/p&gt;
