Pennsylvania judges allowed to receive cash gifts at testimonials
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that judges may accept cash gifts at testimonial dinners, despite concerns of conflict of interest from attorneys who may appear before them. It rejected public reporting of all compensation and nepotism safeguards, while ABA and state bar groups criticized the stance. The decision may undermine public respect for the judiciary. Meanwhile, New York reports on corporate management and stock market shifts, noting low price earnings, high debt, and rethinking equity market strategies amid tougher conditions.
