elcome to the 18th installment of PaLAW: Annual Report on the Legal Profession. In this space

last year, we spoke of the publication’s new design and continued commitment to pro-viding accurate, detailed and informative data on as many facets of the legal profes-sion as we could fit in these pages.

Our hope is that you can clearly see those efforts again bore fruit in this latest edition, which has tracked a legal commu-nity in recovery. As we have focused our efforts in the last year on collecting data about private law firms, public corpora-tions and public interest firms, to name a few things, the legal profession has been focused on how to emerge from a reces-sion that has drastically altered some ways of doing business while allowing other old habits to creep back to the fore.

Layoffs and hiring reductions continue to recede while rate and salary increases are on the rise. Firms continue to function with fewer attorneys — in Pennsylvania, at least. Reed Smith again topped the 100 Largest Law Firms in Pennsylvania list with 311 full-time attorneys in the state, compared to the 323 lawyers that gar-nered the firm the top spot in 2010.

As Ward Bower points out in his article on page 94, firms have little left to cut in the way of expenses, making revenue generation a tough prospect in 2012. One way to garner more revenue, he points out, is through a merger, but fewer respon-dents to this year’s Managing Partners Survey said they were actively seeking a merger partner.

One area that may still have room for some trimming is the partner ranks — the fastest way, consultants have said, to improve the bottom line. Though firms are not rushing to cut or de-equitize part-ners in any dramatic fashion, they are looking at doing so at an increased rate from last year.

That and a number of other interesting takeaways can be found from the analysis of the survey, including some impressive financial results for law firms in the last two years. And reporter Zack Needles has a roundup of specific financial results from 2010 for the state’s largest law firms.

There is one big change to the publica-tion this year. We are sad to say that Jaime Bochet, our magazines and supplements editor, has moved on for a new and excit-ing career endeavor. We can’t thank Jaime enough for her work in shaping PaLAW 2011 and the several editions before it. We promise that her dedication is one en-trenched in the institution’s culture — one we hope will remain visible on the coming pages and in future editions as we con-stantly work to improve the end product.

To that end, we welcome our new mag-azines and supplements editor, Ben Seal, who joins us from the sports desk of The Trentonian with the same ability to juggle projects and fine-tune a product that has driven the success of this publication in previous years.

This publication and its many moving parts could not have been pulled together without the help of some very dedicated, detail-oriented colleagues. Art Director Karen Leddy painstakingly lays out each of the charts, graphs and articles, adding her own refined style that hopefully makes these pages easy to read as well as easy on the eyes.

Director of Information Technology Brian Harris generates the surveys you are all nice enough to fill out as well as com-piles the data we receive from a number of different sources. Super-intern Brooke McDonald has helped with editing every step of the way, further ensuring the data you see is as accurate as possible.

As much of the data you are about to read is a snapshot of where firms currently stand, we welcome your ideas for how we can look ahead and provide you with the most useful information. As the practice of law evolves, so too should this publication. We look forward to hearing you insights and suggestions in the coming year.

Rank Case Name PICS No. Court Date Judge Holding

1. Cochran v. Wyeth 10-2585 Pa. Superior July 27, 2010 Allen In this failure to warn case, the Superior Court held that plaintiff-appellant could not prove proximate causation because the non-disclosed risk did not materialize in physical injury. The Superior Court affirmed the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Wyeth Inc.

2. Ownes v. Wyeth 10-2600 Pa. Superior July 26, 2010 Memorandum In Pennsylvania, a drug manufacturer does not have a duty to withdraw or recall a prescription drug from the market. Accordingly, appellant’s failure to withdraw claim lacked merit. Appellants appealed from the trial court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of Wyeth. The Superior Court affirmed.

3. Lance v. Wyeth 10-2617 Pa. Superior Aug. 2, 2010 Allen Appellant appealed from the trial court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of Wyeth, concluding that appellant failed to present a cognizable claim under Pennsylvania law. The Superior Court affirmed in part and reversed in part.

4. Eckman v. Erie Insurance Exchange

10-2678 C.P. Montgomery Aug. 6, 2010 Albright Plaintiffs claimed a conflict of interest existed for the attorney selected by their insurer to defend an underlying tort and therefore plaintiffs should be entitled to select and have insurer pay for independent counsel. The trial court denied the motion.

5. McKinney v. Phila. Housing Authority

10-3001 Pa. Commonwealth Aug. 25, 2010 Schiller The court held that while the 2006 version of Pennsylvania’s Uniform Construction Code adopted pursuant to the PCCA violated the Pennsylvania constitution, the 2009 version did not, under the General Assembly’s valid delegation of rule-making authority.

6. Betts v. New Castle Youth Development Center

10-3114 3rd Circuit Sept. 13, 2010 Hardiman An adjudicated delinquent youth suffered a severe spinal cord injury from playing tackle football without protective equipment while housed at a youth development center. The 3rd Circuit affirmed the district court’s summary judgment in favor of defendants, finding immunity for defendants in their official capacities and no violation of the Eighth or Fourteenth Amendments in their individual capacities.

7. Barrick v. Holy Spirit Hospital

10-3151 Pa. Superior Sept. 16, 2010 Olson The Superior Court affirmed the trial court’s order directing the discovery and production of correspondence between appellant’s counsel and appellant’s treating physician and designated expert witness at trial. In this case of first impression, the court adopted a bright-line rule that attorney work-product must yield to the disclosure of the basis of a testifying expert’s opinion.

8. Jenkins v. Marina District Develop-ment Co.

10-3153 C.P. Philadelphia Aug. 23, 2010 Tereshko Pennsylvania courts did not have personal jurisdiction because appellant failed to show contacts between appellee and the state of Pennsylvania, which would have made appellee reasonably aware it could be hauled into court in Pennsylva-nia. If personal jurisdiction existed, appellant did not establish that Philadelphia was the proper venue. The court requested that its order granting appellee’s preliminary objections and dismissing appellant’s amended complaint be affirmed.

9. Taylor v. LA Fitness International

10-3154 C.P. Philadelphia Aug. 30, 2010 Younge Defendants’ exculpatory clauses complied with Pennsylvania law, therefore, the court enforced the clauses and granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing plaintiff’s personal injury action.

10. McMillen v. Hummingbird Speedway Inc.

10-3174 C.P. Jefferson Sept. 9, 2010 Foradora Where a person’s social network sites may contain information relevant to the prosecution or defense of a lawsuit and in consideration of the law’s general disapproval of privileges, access to those sites should be freely granted.

11. Glushefski v. Sadowski

10-3268 C.P. Luzerne Oct. 1, 2010 Van Jura While plaintiffs were entitled to explore the potential basis of defendant’s medical expert as a possible professional witness, their discovery requests seeking information about other examinations and depositions were unreasonably burdensome. Motion to compel discovery granted in part; denied in part.

12. Commonwealth Financial Systems v. Hartzell

10-3398 C.P. Lawrence Oct. 19, 2010 Cox In a case involving default on credit card debt, defendant’s preliminary objection for failure to state whether the agreement was oral or written was overruled and the preliminary objection for failure to attach adequate documentation of the agreement, the assignment of the account and lack of specificity was sustained. Plaintiff’s amended complaint was stricken.

Superior Nov. 17, 2010 Bowes Court upholds a $20 million award, including $15 million in punitive damages, given by a Philadelphia jury that found a plastic surgeon and a nurse anesthetist liable for an 18-year-old college student’s death after an elective liposuction procedure.

14. Schultz v. Erie Indemnity Co.

10-3683 C.P. Fayette July 22, 2010 Leskinen The court denied the defendant insurance carrier’s motion for summary judgment since there could be support at trial for the allegation that the “household exclusion” within plaintiff’s single vehicle insurance policy violates the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law. Defendant’s motion for summary judgment denied.

15. Grigos v. Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s London

10-3684 C.P. Philadelphia Dec. 15, 2010 Bernstein The defendant insurer was liable for statutory bad faith conduct where it knowingly misrepresented its insurance policy to plaintiff and intentionally delayed the resolution of plaintiff’s fire loss claims. Summary judgment for plaintiff.

16. Kirschner v. K&L Gates LLP

11-0034 C.P. Allegheny Dec. 28, 2010 Wettick The court dismissed the plaintiff bankruptcy trustee’s legal malpractice claim against the defendant law firm in the absence of any obligations owed to the now bankrupt corporation and the absence of any losses under the deepening insolvency theory.

17. Alston v. Commowealth of Pennsylvania

11-0061 C.P. Philadelphia Dec. 13, 2010 Levin The court ruled that a five-eighths inch defect in a sidewalk was trivial as a matter of law. The court said its entry of compulsory non-suit was proper based on the evidence presented.

18. Wisniski v. American Commerce Group

11-0068 W.D. Pa.

Summary judgment for plaintiff in part and defendant in part.

19. TL Ventures III Management v. Fabbio

11-0130 C.P. Philadelphia Jan. 10, 2011 Bernstein Where each of respondents’ challenges to an arbitration award alleged a mistake of fact or error of law, i.e., the types of errors that may not be reviewed under the applicable standard of review, the court granted the petition to confirm the arbitration award.

20. Beil v. Telesis Construction Inc.

11-0143 Pa. Supreme Jan. 19, 2011 Todd In this case involving the liability of an independent contractor, the owner exer-cised certain authority regarding safety and regulated access to and use of certain areas of the premises, but this was not the type of conduct that constituted control as contemplated by the Restatement (Second) of Torts and there was not sufficient control asserted to subject the owner to liability. Judgment notwithstanding the verdict affirmed.

21. Portside Investors LV v. Northern Insurance Co. of New York

11-0176 C.P Philadelphia Jan. 13, 2011 Bernstein Plaintiff’s expert was not qualified to render an opinion on any relevant issue presented to the jury for determination and had no factual basis for the opinions rendered. The jury had no evidentiary basis upon which to render their verdict. The verdict should be reversed and a new trial ordered.

22. Sparrow v. Pace/CM Inc.

11-0286 C.P. Lackawanna Feb. 7, 2011 Nealon Because the single entity theory is not cognizable in Pennsylvania, plaintiff’s claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment and a violation of the Contractor and Subcontractor Payment Act were dismissed; the gist of the action doctrine barred tortious interference with contract claims and punitive damages claims were dismissed. Plaintiff’s allegations were sufficiently specific and the writing in defendants’ possession did not need to be attached. Defendants’ preliminary objections sustained in part and overruled in part.

23. Touchette v. Weis Markets Inc.

11-0713 C.P. Monroe March 3, 2011 Worthington Plaintiff assumed the risk of her injury when she knowingly and voluntarily walked over the snow and ice.

24. Blumer v. Ford Motor Co.

11-0854 Pa. Superior May 6, 2011 Allen The trial court did not err in admitting reports of prior similar incidents and design changes made prior to the accident at issue and finding that appellants did not preserve their hearsay objection to the reports. Judgment in favor of appellees affirmed.

25. Dailey-Console v. Barnwell

11-1115 C.P. Monroe May 18, 2011 Zulick The release pursuant to the settlement of this personal injury action was silent regarding the releasor’s obligation to obtain clearance from Medicare, but this did not pose an obstacle to enforcement of the release. Plaintiffs’ request for disbursement of settlement funds was granted.
